Dancing all night long: FA holiday party brings joy

Cynthia Eaton

 

Dancing!

If you want to know what happens at the FA holiday party, the first answer is dancing. Classroom faculty, retirees, adjuncts, nonclassroom faculty—all dancing together, talking together, laughing together. It was a wonderful evening at the end of a busy semester.

The annual FA holiday party took place at The Watermill in Smithtown on Friday, December 6. When not on the dance floor, guests enjoyed hors d'oeuvres, buffet and dessert stations and great company.

It's no secret that the college has been going through a lot of changes in the past year, so it was especially nice to see colleagues come together in a casual setting to wish one another good cheer.
