College of Health Sciences students were treated Wednesday morning to glazed donuts, fresh fruit, a full charcuterie spread and even a hot cocoa bar as part of this fall’s Fay Family Breakfast. We also had motivational trinkets to help everyone get through finals week. Best of luck to our students with upcoming exams! 🍩🍓
