The students got to work joyfully, playing music, singing together, and chatting while spreading toppings on bread and sealing sandwiches in plastic bags. 鈥淲ith finals ahead of us, this is a great way to boost campus morale, and for a really good cause as well,鈥 said Nora Downey (鈥27) as she assembled sandwiches. Students worked until they ran out of supplies, quickly making around 1,200 sandwiches to be dropped off at the food bank early the following morning.
