Bread and Soup Nite is an awesome event held every first Monday of the month in the Sharwan Smith Student Center Ballroom. Each month students can pay either $2 and a non-perishable food item or $3 without and enjoy an all-you-can eat bread, soup, and desserts meal along with some live entertainment. All of the food collected at Bread and Soup Nite goes to the Hope Pantry, which is a food pantry on campus for students to use. It is a great event and is a chance for people to get together, enjoy some good food, and to help support our student pantry.
Bread and Soup Nite is coordinated by our Student Service Leaders Harsh Kansagra and Brikel Weeks. They had the following to say about their experience as service leaders at the CEC.
Harsh Kansagra
"For the past 2 & 1/2 years, Bread and Soup Nite has gotten me more involved with other students on campus. I have learned how leadership works and seen how it helps. The best way to put it is that Bread and Soup Nite is helping people by helping people. The experience I am getting here is invaluable because it helps me with personal development. Also, my goal is to apply to medical school this year and work as
an EMT the next. Med school requires a certain amount of service hours and
here at the Community Engagement Center, I am earning more than double of those
hours. As a doctor, I will be a leader in that I’ll be required and able to understand the rest of the staff that I’ll be working with. Being a service leader is giving me the expertise of
a crew member working his way up to being an accomplished leader."
Brikel Weeks
"Being a service leader over Bread and Soup Nite has given me the opportunity to meet and connect with so many great people. I get to host a super fun event all while collecting food for our pantry which helps so many students each month. Bread and Soup Nite is the greatest...everyone should come and check it out!"
