Utica University Faculty and Staff Spread Holiday Cheer at Annual Holiday Dinner

The Strebel Dining Commons was transformed into a winter wonderland.

As the fall semester winds down and the holiday season gets underway, Utica University faculty and staff put on their most festive aprons to serve students a special holiday meal.
On Thursday, December 5, the Strebel Dining Commons was transformed into a winter wonderland, full of festive decorations, a snow globe photo booth, and even a surprise visit from Santa Claus himself!

As students were served and waited on by some of their favorite faculty and staff members, they also supported an important cause.
Pioneers were encouraged to bring a non-perishable item or monetary donation to directly benefit the Tangerine Grove on campus, a pantry that provides food and hygiene products to any student or employee at Utica University in need.
The Annual Holiday Dinner is one of the University’s longest-standing traditions. It is a beloved event sure to bring joy to the entire campus community.
