Program Possibility: International Thanksgiving

Submitted by Julia Coccaro, Resident Assistant, Binghamton University

One program that has worked well in my experience is an International Thanksgiving. Several RAs and residents work together to cook several different ethnic dishes, they write blurbs about the countries where the food came from, and decorations can reflect the different areas. You could add to this program by inviting people from those countries to speak about the culture and by giving prizes to those who answer some questions correctly about the countries at the end of the night.
