Nov 20, 2024   |  ATHENS CAMPUS

Thanksgiving break is just around the corner, and many of you will soon be heading home for some well-deserved rest and community time. For those of you staying in Athens over the holiday, we want to make sure you know about the resources and events available to help you enjoy the break.

Several free community meals are being hosted in Athens, including Tavolino’s 7th Annual Community Meal and Kiser's Community Feast on November 28. Nelson Court will also be open for those of you with meal plans, and anyone can pay per meal.

If you’re staying on campus, make time to recharge, and be sure to check alternate hours of buildings and services. 

Wishing you all a safe and restful break!
