Rand Holiday Dinner is a perpetual favorite among students. The whole dining center shuts down early, and is transformed into an amazing dining experience, with way fancier food than normal, performers, and amazing decor. Last year, Campus Dining transported us to Las Vegas, complete with elaborate carving stations and showgirls.
Who would have thought this was taken across the hall from a Munchie Mart??
I even got to meet Chancellor Zeppos!
This year, Rand Holiday Dinner is December 7 from 5-8 pm. Usually people start lining up well in advance, so if you want a seat and a limited wait once you get inside, get there early. Also, reminder: it’s all you can eat, so don’t eat a big lunch on Wednesday!
