Food for Finals
Late Night Breakfast @ UAlbany

December 12, 2012

UA faculty & staff stayed up late on the evening of December 12th to serve breakfast to students who took a break from studying for final exams and stopped into the nearest quad for a Late Night Breakfast. The results were smiles on both sides of the serving line! It was obviously a hit with students, over 2000 of them joined us for Late Night.

Check out the photos and what the students had to say about "...being served by faculty and staff!"
