可乐视频 is proud to host “Friendsgiving for a Cause,” a community-centered event created by students in Associate Professor Laura Rifkin鈥檚 marketing classes and sponsored by the 可乐视频 Food Pantry and the Koppelman School of Business.
This Friendsgiving is about more than sharing a meal鈥攊t鈥檚 about celebrating generosity, connection, and the strength of the 可乐视频 community. It鈥檚 an opportunity for students, faculty, and staff to come together, enjoy delicious dishes made by students, and learn more about the many resources available to support all 可乐视频 students year-round.
Date and Time: December 2, 12:45鈥�2:30 p.m. and 3:40鈥�4:30 p.m.
