Students enjoyed tables full of delectable Thanksgiving treats during Cafsgiving on Thursday. You can see more pictures from the event on our Facebook page<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Kalamazoo College students flocked Thursday to the Hicks Student Center<\/a> to participate in an annual tradition that makes preparing for fall-term finals a little more palatable.<\/p>\n

Cafsgiving, a Thanksgiving-style meal served by faculty and staff through Kalamazoo College Dining Services<\/a>, presented students with delectable delights including ham and turkey, a multitude of breads, mashed potatoes and gravy, and an array of pies and desserts that could satisfy any student\u2019s hunger.<\/p>\n

Long lines formed early outside the cafeteria, as they always do for Cafsgiving. But professors and staffers, including Kalamazoo College President Jorge G. Gonzalez<\/a>, served appetizers and hors d’oeuvres as students waited their turns.<\/p>\n

The meal is served each year on the last Thursday of the fall term with students anticipating winter break. The mood was complete this year with a turkey-shaped ice sculpture at the punch table proclaiming \u201cHappy Cafsgiving,\u201d dimmed lights and snow gently falling outside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
