Chancellor Nicholas S. Zeppos and his wife, Lydia, hosted an early Thanksgiving dinner Nov. 23 for students who were unable to travel home for the holiday. Approximately 125 students attended the event held at the Vanderbilt Student Life Center.

The group feasted on traditional Thanksgiving favorites and gourmet dishes prepared by Vanderbilt Catering, including butter- and sage-roasted turkey with pan gravy, roasted sweet potatoes with candied walnuts and sweet nutmeg cream sauce, Brussels sprouts with pancetta and rosemary, baked sharp white cheddar macaroni, deep-dish pecan pie with chocolate sauce, and more.
