On November 27, the Department of Technology and Society hosted a warm and festive Thanksgiving Dinner in the SUNY Korea Lounge, bringing together students and faculty for an evening of community and celebration. As the department’s first-ever Thanksgiving gathering, the event served as a meaningful opportunity to share cultures and create new traditions together. The event not only offered students the opportunity to share a holiday meal with members of the department but also featured lively entertainment, including Thanksgiving themed trivia and a lucky draw, with gifts generously sponsored by faculty members. The gathering fostered a welcoming atmosphere and highlighted the department’s commitment to supporting students beyond the classroom.
The warm Thanksgiving dinner, featuring a wide selection of traditional dishes such as roasted turkey, stuffing, pumpkin pie, and more, provided students with a meaningful opportunity to experience the traditional American holiday firsthand. Notably, the turkey dinner was specially prepared by Dragon Hill Lodge, a restaurant previously accessible only within the U.S. Army base, bringing an authentic and memorable flavor to the celebration. Alongside these signature items, students enjoyed a variety of other delicious dishes that helped create a lively and welcoming atmosphere throughout the evening.
