Thanksgiving is approaching, meaning we’ve all got food and family on our mind! But before you return home to your families for the holidays, enjoy a few holiday-inspired meals here with your UPS family! Do you ever wonder where UPS students used to sit down to eat before our Wheelock Student Center was built? Well, the dining facilities actually used to be in Kittredge Hall! See if you can recognize it in the pictures below, and come by the Archives & Special Collections to find more cool stuff just like it! Happy Holidays!
