Pasta Dinners back on hold!

Pasta dinners were put on hold because of COVID, and we have decided not to bring them back yet. The average attendance in the past had been over 50 students per week.  Pasta night at Newman Hall seems to remain a fond college memory. Students from years ago return to Newman Hall with stories of the great fun they had here.
