Pizza Party

Many thanks to 3rd floor Honors North RA Sarah Grigg for hosting a pizza party for honors students on Tuesday. A large contingent (40+) descended upon the classroom and easily devoured the 10 large pizzas I had delivered from Domino's. Yes, some latecomers did not get any.

Everyone briefly made a personal introduction. One of the reasons for having the party was to get honors students to better know each other. Majesta Miles shot the photos shown here.

We'll do something similar again soon. Raw oysters anyone? Boiled crawfish? I know, it's Southern Arkansas not Southern Louisiana. Ok, maybe a taco bar or hot dog party? Let me know.
