OEI Meals to Go for Trainees Not Traveling for the Holidays
Some of our students will soon be traveling home for the holiday break to relax and enjoy a great meal with family & friends. For those students who will not be traveling home, the Office of Equity and Inclusion (OEI) will be offering “meals to go” on Friday, December 22nd. Students can stop by the OEI located in the Wallis Hall building, Suite 147 between the hours of 12:00-4:00PM and choose from a variety of meal options. Meals will be on a first-come, first-served basis.
Trainees sticking around for the holidays can fill out this form to ensure OEI has a selection of meals that meets the needs of everyone.
