It was a "berry" good day in G-Lobby! To celebrate National Strawberry Day,  Chartwells Dining  and the  Office of Student Engagement (OSE)  teamed up for a special Teaching Kitchen session. Students stopped by to fuel up on fresh strawberry smoothies and indulge in decadent strawberry chocolate fondue. The treats didn't stop there—attendees also entered for a chance to take the kitchen home with them, with a mini-blender and a mini chocolate dipping pot.
