SOAN Fall Social 2005

The SOAN Student Board hosted our Fall Social in Elliott Hall.  The SOAN faculty and staff were asked to provide Middle Eastern dishes.  We feasted on chicken kabobs, rice with barberries, hummus, tabouli, salad, red lentil soup and desserts.  About 35 majors and minors and the faculty enjoyed the meal together – additional students and faculty who walked by our food laden table were pleased to be invited to fill plates and sample the foods before our clean up began.

Conversation flows as Christy Sicher samples a piece of Professor Durst’s homemade pie.

Allie Kesling, Melissa Taylor (SOAN board co-chair), Elizabeth Spangler, Danielle Sampson (board member) and Prof. Howard pose for group picture.
