The
offices of Student Leadership and Activities (OSLA) and Off-Campus
Living and Commuting Student Services are spear-heading the second
annual campus wide Canned Food Drive to collect enough food to help
feed 75 local families this Thanksgiving season. Last year enough
food was collected to feed 50 families, and we want to help even
more this year! In order to make this a reality we need YOUR help!
Food is being collected from now until Friday, November 19th. Food
may be dropped off in Student Center 260 (OSLA), Student Center 221
(Off-Campus Living), and in select residential halls. We CAN fight
hunger together. Make a difference in the lives of others. DONATE
FOOD TODAY!

Spanish-speaking world is a story of centuries." This lesser-known

Rodrigues-an immigrant born in the Dominican Republic who is
considered New York's first Latino settler-including a copy of his
baptism certificate. Students $5.For more information: (212)
