Thanksgiving is an event spent with family and friends, pausing for a moment to ponder what we are grateful for... and sharing a nourishing and comforting meal. You may already have plans to go home, or to a friend's or suitemate's home, or to spend it together with other folks, either on campus or elsewhere. If you will be in our building over the Thanksgiving break, we extend a warm invitation to spend the holiday with your Lauder Family. Every year, we celebrate Thanksgiving together in the LCH Dining Pavilion, at 4.00pm on the Thursday (a sit-down-and-stay event). We cook and cater both traditional fare (turkey, cornbread, and so on) and some more personal riffs. There are also lots of home-baked pies!
What does it mean to be a "global citizen?" Lauder residents have explored many facets of this question.
Lauder comes together each Sunday night with our faculty members for conversations about local and global topics.
As a member of our community, you have the opportunity to imagine and craft your own experiences. By living in Lauder College House, we intend to grow and develop as individuals and as active citizens in our residential, Penn, Philadelphia, and future communities. Together, we implement this by raising our consciousness of what’s happening in the world around us, building a community where belonging is centered, developing our skills to thrive in various situations, and exploring the world and our responsibilities to the communities we belong to. What will your contribution be?
Lauder is more than just a house, it’s a home: your home, our home..
