Students gobble up last Decary Thanksgiving dinner served by President Ripich
新香港六合彩资料 President Danielle Ripich donned an apron yesterday evening and served turkey dinner to throngs of students in Decary dining hall, an annual 新香港六合彩资料 tradition held a week before most students flee the campus for their hometowns to enjoy Thanksgiving with their families.
鈥淒ecary Thanksgiving,鈥 as it is called, is a time for students to gather together with their 新香港六合彩资料 family to celebrate the holiday and experience a little pampering. 鈥淵ou鈥檝e been working hard; you deserve it!鈥 said President Ripich as she served slices of pie to a table of young men.
The event does not go unappreciated by the students. 鈥淚t鈥檚 the best day on campus!鈥 declared Jessica Colpoys (鈥17). 鈥淚 wait the whole year for this day.鈥
Madison Ruopp (鈥17) could not agree more. 鈥淚鈥檝e been to this every year that I鈥檝e been on campus,鈥 she shared. 鈥淚 studied abroad one semester, and I was so sad that I missed Decary Thanksgiving.鈥
It was not just the last of the Decary Thanksgivings for seniors like Colpoys and Ruopp but the last for President Ripich, as well, who announced in May that she will retire after this academic year. For many students, that fact, alone, provided extra motivation to make sure they had a seat at the table. Said Erika Sawicki (鈥17), 鈥淚 couldn鈥檛 wait to get my ticket!鈥
