Friday, October 19th marked the occasion for a student-thrown GSM Pig Roast. Second-year students Brian Kroopf, Nate Chan, and Spencer Wilton were generous enough to donate their entire Friday to procure and roast a delicious pig. The spit cooking method took upwards of 15 hours but the end result was fantastic! This was an entirely local affair, as UC Davis GSM students roasted a pig purchased from the UC Davis Animal Sciences meat lab. The pig roast brought first and second-year classmates together and provided a fun and relaxing environment following a tough week of exams and coursework.
