This year, the Maseeh College Holiday Party included a craft table with vintage typewriters and supplies to craft missives to the North Pole (or other recipients of choice). The balloon arch photo op was also a popular attraction, and thanks to all who brought treats for the treat table for everyone to enjoy. A special shout out to the party planning team that worked behind the scenes to help us celebrate the season.

The annual Maseeh College Food Drive is on now until the end of the week. Got a stash of hotel/travel-sized hygiene items such as shampoos, soaps, etc? Extra school supplies? We will take those, too! Donations can be dropped off in the Dean's Office (EB 500) and will benefit students as they head into Winter Break with limited access to on-campus resources during closures and holiday hours. Monetary donations can be made to the PSU Smallwood Food Pantry.
