Washington – Gaëlle Ivory, assistant director of intercultural affairs in the Office of Student Life & Activities at Howard University, was recently named one of 30 randomly selected winners in Sodexo’s “Spread the Joy” sweepstakes as part of its Fall resident dining promotion series. This national prize sweepstakes focused on the positive things we can spread – like joy to others – giving students across the United States the chance to win one of 30 $500 donations made in their name to their campus food pantry or a local hunger-related charity. This comes at a time when food pantries are deeply in need of donations, given the COVID-19 environment. Ivory selected Howard University Food Pantry as her charity beneficiary. In addition to the donation, Ivory will receive a $100 VISA^® gift card to spend any way she would like.                                        

Featured at more than 600 Sodexo-managed colleges and universities nationwide, Sodexo’s Fall resident dining promotion series featured a number of safe, physically distant events for students in addition to the “Spread the Joy” sweepstakes. Two core dining showcase events, #RockTheBlock and Foodie Revolution, celebrated the beautiful outdoor weather and capitalized on the historic 2020 election with themed foods, activities and more.
