Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Inc. and Pi Delta Psi Fraternity, Inc. are partnering to host a Thanksgiving Food Drive in support of the Covenant Soup Kitchen. Over the course of two weeks, we will collect non-perishable food donations from students, faculty, and community members to help provide meals for families in need during the holiday season. Donation boxes will be placed throughout campus, including at cultural centers, Rowe, Wilbur Cross, and other central locations. This initiative aims to foster community engagement, promote service, and highlight the importance of giving back. By working together, we hope to make a meaningful impact and ensure that more families can enjoy a warm meal this Thanksgiving!

This course consists of eight online modules that the student can complete independently. An instructor will meet virtually with the students weekly to review each module topic and answer questions. Expect to spend study time reviewing each module topic outside of the review class. A student who completes all the modules, works through the quizzes, and studies the resource materials independently should be able to pass both the written and oral state exam successfully.
