Thanksgiving Dinner

Faculty and Staff Serve the Students for the Annual Thanksgiving Dinner |
|
| Many people know
the stress of trying to organize large thanksgiving dinners, but not
many people can understand the challenges of trying to seat and
serve 1,500 guests. In order to solve this not-so-everyday problem,
Lycoming College asks faculty and staff to chip in and help serve
the annual Thanksgiving Dinner for the Lycoming College student body
on the last full day of cafeteria service before the break. The Thanksgiving dinner, complete with roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, green beans, and of course the most essential element of Thanksgiving, pumpkin pie is served to the college students by members of the faculty and staff. Students get a change of pace because the dinner is sit down rather than cafeteria style, and each table is complete with both tablecloth and candles, to set the mood. As the students enter the cafeteria, they are seated by the Maitre D's for the evening, Dr. James Douthat, President, and Dr. John Piper, Jr., Dean of the College. But for some the students, the best part of the meal begins as they meet their wait person, who is apt to be their biology professor. Dr. Mel Zimmerman, Dr. David Franz, and Dr. Jeff Newman, all in the science department, are just a few of the volunteers for this years dinner. Students can either make reservations or simply walk into the dinner. This year, Lycoming College will hold the Thanksgiving dinner on Monday, November 22, from 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Students are encouraged to come ready to stuff themselves with a full Thanksgiving Day dinner! |
