Thanksgiving Dinner On Campus

As I am sure you are all well aware, the University will be closed on Thursday and Friday for Thanksgiving, which of course means no classes!

For those of you who will be in town and do not have any Thanksgiving plans, you should consider attending Ohio State's 16th Annual Thanksgiving Dinner on campus. This event, sponsored by the Office of International Affairs, brings together more than 1200 students each year who are not able to go home for the long holiday weekend.

More information about the event can be found at http://www.osu.edu/events/event389991
