IGSA Friendsgiving Feast 2026

About

Our Thanksgiving Celebration “Campus Friendsgiving Feast” invites students, faculty, and staff to share a warm, communal meal that captures the spirit of gratitude and togetherness. Many students, especially international and out-of-state students, remain on campus during the holiday break and may not have access to a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. This event creates an inclusive gathering where everyone can enjoy classic holiday dishes like turkey, vegetarian entrées, seasonal sides, and desserts, while connecting with new friends and reflecting on the meaning of gratitude. In addition to the shared meal, the evening will feature brief remarks about the history and traditions of Thanksgiving and an optional “gratitude wall” where attendees can share notes of appreciation. By supporting this initiative, CPC will help strengthen our campus community, combat holiday isolation, and provide a welcoming cultural experience for students of all backgrounds.
