Happy Thanksgiving, Lakers! Whether you’re spending it at home with family or chilling on campus, there’s no wrong way to enjoy this break. Thanksgiving is about reflecting on what you're thankful for, and for some, it's about eating way too much food. Discover how some of your peers will be spending their break, including various cultural traditions and dishes. 

When you come back from break there will be several Winterfest events to enjoy! Get a head start on holiday shopping at the Student Small Business Market, laugh the night away with comedian Ali Sultan, or check out La Posada: A Mexican Holiday Tradition. But that's not all! There will be so many great opportunities to get crafty, make s'mores, and enjoy free hot cocoa during Winterfest!

The GVSU community is rallying around the Replenish Student Food Resource Fund, which supports food security on campus. Across both campuses there will be events that will facilitate contributions and expressions of support including the food drive, student meal swipe donations, bag decorating, thank you card signing, free food, and more!

Don't let studying overwhelm you! During finals week there are plenty of resources available for academic support including library resources, tutoring, and study tips to help you prep for exams. 

Exam Jam also features a variety of events to help you through the week! 

Alcohol and Other Drugs Services (AOD) is hosting an Exam Jam Carnival, and the University Counseling Center (UCC) is partnering with West Michigan Therapy Dogs to bring cuddly pups to campus, providing comfort and support during exam week. But that's not all — click the button for more Exam Jam events!

It’s time for a break, Lakers! Dining dollars will still be active, but meal swipes will be deactivated as dining facilities are closed from TONIGHT AT 10 P.M. to 11 a.m. on Sunday Nov. 30.

Have a restful Thanksgiving break!
