Former Computer Science 50 head teaching fellows Daniel J. Ellard and Penny Ellard have traditionally opened their Lowell House residence to students on Thanksgiving--a tradition they decided to curtail this year.
"We have done that in the past, for the past four years actually," Daniel Ellard said. "[But] it just got to be a bit too much last year. We had about 26 people [and] neither my wife nor I is involved with [the course] this year."
But going to a professor's home is not the only way for those left stranded on campus to enjoy a traditional turkey dinner.
Harvard University Dining Services (HUDS) plans to offer a lunchtime Thanksgiving feast and a special Thanksgiving dinner.
According to HUDS Executive Chef Michael Miller, the main festive meal will include turkey and all the trimmings--mashed potatoes, stuffing and several varieties of pie. He said the HUDS staff will also serve Quinoa as a vegetarian option.
"Past history tells us to expect between 500 and 600 students for the Thanksgiving meal," Miller said.
Adams House and Currier House dining halls will be open Friday and Saturday.
