Giving Thanks - Part II

Who says students must go home to enjoy a turkey with all the trimmings? At Delaware Valley College, a pre-Thanksgiving tradition gives them the chance to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday at their home away from home. President Joseph S. Brosnan carves the turkey and faculty and staff serve the meal, according to Director of Communications Sean Dallas.

Many DelVal students actually wind up staying on campus during the holidays. As one of the few private colleges in the nation with a heavy emphasis on agriculture, there are more than 250 farm animals on campus that need care year-round. The college has approximately 2,000 students.

In addition to having the chance to share in that meal, six Food Science students at DelVal got in the Thanksgiving spirit by sharing what they've learned in class on the CBS3 Morning News on Tuesday, November 25. The segment, which also included food science professor Anabelle Morales and food science department chair Bob Pierson, featured examples of how to prepare a delicious, safe, and homemade holiday meal for Thanksgiving.
