Thursday, November 7, 2024 Friendsgiving: Foster positivity and gratitude at your celebrations

The autumn holiday season is here, and for many Husker students, it’s a time to reconnect and reflect on experiences with friends. This tradition, known as Friendsgiving, is a casual, informal gathering where friends come together on or around Thanksgiving, often over a shared meal.

Whether you’re planning a Friendsgiving on campus or heading home to celebrate with friends, you can enjoy the festivities while prioritizing everyone’s well-being and creating a positive, responsible social environment.
