Hey, Yellowjackets! Are you ready for Thanksgiving? If so, the countdown to Defiance College’s annual Thanksgiving dinner is finally on. This dinner will be taking place on Thursday, November 19, at 5:00 PM in the Dining Hall on campus. The Hive will be closed starting at 4:30 PM.
To keep up with the Thanksgiving tradition, factuality and staff members will trade their usual PowerPoints and sweaters to hairnets and aprons as they will be your servers until 6:15 PM! After that, normal services will resume, from our servers switching from our favorite faculty to our favorite lunch ladies (or gentlemen) until the doors close at 7:30 PM. This is the perfect opportunity to come together as a community, share gratitude, and eat some tasty food!
No meal plan? No problem! Defiance College wants to ensure that everyone has a chance to participate in this tradition. Those that do not have a current meal plan, whether on campus or commute, can easily stop by the Office of Student Life in Hubbard Hall (room 128) and pick up a meal ticket!
Don’t worry if you were tied up with practice, if you were studying for an exam, or if you took a really long nap. The Hive will reopen as the Dining Hall is Closing AT 7:30 PM!
Although I don’t know the full details as to what foods will be served, you can certainly expect for all the delicious, traditional Thanksgiving classics to fill up your plate(s)!
Spread the word and enjoy!
