Written by ANGIE BHATTARAI
It's finally looking a little bit like the holiday
season here at GMUK with the Thanksgiving
Potluck hosted by the Chingu Program & Peer
Advisors.
Thanksgiving is an annual holiday celebrating
the harvest and other blessings of the past year.
The students were able to enjoy a traditional
Thanksgiving dinner, play games with friends as
well as write down what they are thankful for on
our wall! Overall, a lot of people came out which
made the event fun!

DE-STRESS EVENTS!
As finals are approaching, the Peer Advisors
spent a week in the Global Lounge to
communicate with students and help them de-
stress a bit from studying. On Monday, we had
professionals that came to give students a free
massage! Not only that, we had stations to give
out coloring sheets, stress balls as well as tea
and candy. We also held a Paws Event where
students could come relax and play with dogs.
Another event that was held this week was
giving out hot chocolate and snacks! A lot of
students came out to these events which made
it even more fun!Life at Fairfax Presentation!
In the beginning of the semester, the peer
advisors went to the UNIV 100 class to
introduce ourselves as well as talk about
our role of a peer advisor and how we
could be their helping resource. This time,
we went to talk to the students about life
at the Fairfax campus. We talked about
transportation, clubs to join, things to do
around D.C. etc. Although the students are
freshmen and have a while before coming
to the Fairfax campus, it gave them an
insight into how it will be like. The
students were engaged as well as we
brought in some students from the Fairfax
campus as well to give more personal
insight.
