Stillman’s Own Small San Gennaro Festival
The Feast of San Gennaro is widely known throughout our nation as a celebration for not only Italian heritage, but also religious faith. As a martyr for the Catholic community, San Gennaro is the patron saint of Naples, Italy and his legacy is honored every year right in the heart of Little Italy in Manhattan. His official feast day is September 19th, the day he perished for his beliefs.
The Stillman School of Business threw a celebration of its own to continue the excitement from the trip to the festival over the weekend. On Monday, September 23rd, the Faculty Library in Jubilee Hall filled with professors and students alike to take advantage of the free Italian cuisine and a good time. The food that was served included but not limited to pasta, heroes and tiramasu accompanied by iced coffee.
This is not the only holiday Stillman embraces throughout the year. Similar lunch themed festivities include Mardi Gras and Cinco de Mayo.
