Our 1st Annual “Souper Bowl” fundraiser was a success! The event raised $471 to help the AL Campus Helping Hands Fund*.
100% of the donations go straight to our students in need!

Our taste-testing competition was a tight one with over 170 total votes submitted. Congrats to our Master Chef Winner STB faculty Hong Nguyen for her “out of this world” chicken soup! 123
