An annual event, Thanksgiving Dinner brings together students, faculty and staff unable to return home for the long holiday weekend.

Every year, The Ohio State University hosts one of the largest Thanksgiving dinners on a college campus, the day before the holiday. An estimated 800 guests attend the free event.

An Ohio State Signature Event, Thanksgiving Dinner is supported by the Office of Diversity and Inclusion, Frank W. Hale, Jr. Black Cultural Center, the Office of International Affairs and the Office of Student Life's Dining Services.
