Annual Harvest Dinner set for Nov. 13

The University of Alabama in Huntsville's (UAH) annual Harvest Dinner will be Monday, Nov. 13, at the Charger Café on campus.

The Harvest Dinner is a way for the university community to provide a traditional American style Thanksgiving meal to students and the UAH community, who may not be able to have a holiday meal with their families. The dinner is co-hosted by UAH Housing, the Registrar's Office and the Office of International Engagement.

This year's dinner will be from 4:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. What used to be a home-cooked meal for a few students has turned into a major university tradition. A dedicated team of volunteers prepare dinner for approximately 500 people.

UAH retiree Reva Bailey coordinated the first Harvest Dinner nearly 30 years ago. She retired in 2000 from her full-time position as registrar and international advisor.
