Graduate Student Event Brings in Holiday Donations
Wednesday, December 21, 2022
Led by graduate assistant and graduate student of the Museum Profession program, Ethan Wojciechowski, 10 bags full of non-perishable items were successfully donated to Interfaith Food Pantry of the Oranges.
Wojciechowski, CAGSA stewards and graduate students prepared a Thanksgiving-inspired event Friendsgiving, a celebration which provided the College's graduate student community a time to gather for an evening of food, friends and unwinding before the holiday break. Non-perishable donations were also collected during the event and put into 10 bags each filled with stuffing, cranberry sauce, rice, corn, mashed potatoes, gravy, evaporated milk, and sweet potatoes.
When asked about the event, Wojciechowski said, “It felt great helping develop an event where the College of Communication and the Arts' graduate student body could celebrate Thanksgiving, as well as the closing of a semester.”
He continued, "To see everyone come together and build bags of Thanksgiving meals for those less fortunate made me realize how lucky I am to be at the University with amazing fellow graduate students and awesome staff and faculty. As a first-year graduate student, I am excited for my future here and what other thoughtful events CAGSA puts together that I can help with."
CAGSA hosts regular meetings throughout the academic year to discuss and prepare for programs and initiatives like its recent Friendsgiving event.
Formed in Fall 2017, CAGSA works to facilitate a fellowship of students who share solidarity in the common endeavor of earning a graduate degree in the communication- and arts-related disciplines. To that end, the CAGSA serves all College of Communication and the Arts graduate students with three essential foci: social, academic, and networking.
