In recognition of the Lakeland students and their being here as the reason the faculty and staff are here, the college is throwing them an appreciation dinner on Wednesday, Dec. 2 from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. in Bossard Hall.

This meal is free to all students, no swipe needed. Advanced sign up is not required or needed, all a student needs to do is show up and he or she will be seated and served by members of the faculty and staff.

Menu items include prime rib, chicken breast, tortellini marsala, sides, a salad table including smoked salmon and an assortment of deserts.

Be sure to come out to the inaugural Christmas at Lakeland Student Appreciation Dinner to enjoy the food and service as a thank you from the college to the entire student body.
