51³Ô¹Ï the Holiday on Campus

We know that many of our students will be heading home or spending time with friends over Thanksgiving Break. However, if you are planning to spend a quiet weekend on campus during Thanksgiving Break, the University warmly welcomes you into our Thanksgiving traditions.

Highlights

• Thanksgiving Banquet â€” A meal to be thankful for, hosted by Monsignor Shea.
• Film Fest — Enjoy some holiday movies at the Catholic Studies Men's House, complete with food and prizes.
• Turkey Trot — Those of every skill set can participate in Bismarck's Turkey Trot hosted by the Cystic Fibrosis Association of North Dakota. There is a timed 10K run, 5K run/walk, and a non-competitive family fun walk.
