We hope that, despite the struggles higher education faced this year, you can still find something to be thankful for this holiday season, whether it's generous donors making big differences for small campuses, colleges striving to improve cost transparency, or institutions supporting their communities through tough times."
"This slapstick sketch depicts Quinnipiac's mascot, Boomer the Bobcat, messily preparing to welcome community members to his abode for Christmas dinner. Despite mishaps like spilling a bowl of assorted vegetables all over the floor and whisking what looks like mashed potatoes so feverishly they go flying, Boomer ends up putting out a beautiful spread-roast turkey, green beans, deviled eggs and more-for his delighted guests."

Quinnipiac University's sketch follows mascot Boomer the Bobcat as he messily prepares Christmas dinner but ultimately presents a festive feast.
