The annual Friendsgiving at the Union feast at the Memorial Union gives students a chance to celebrate the connections they’ve made on campus. The event on Nov. 18 included a buffet of traditional holiday fare as well as games and a Friendsgiving Food Drive to support students facing heightened food insecurity.
Students filled Memorial Union’s Tripp Commons for the annual Friendsgiving at the Union event. Hosted by the Wisconsin Union Directorate, the event included food, trivia, card games and campus-themed bingo.
