Publish Date: Jan. 11, 2022

On December 20, the CHC Psychology Club hosted a holiday celebration for the CARE/CalWORKS and EOPS students and their families, complete with food, crafts, gifts, and a visit from Santa. There were over 80 attendees and a dozen volunteers, including two alumni who are in graduate school and came to help with the event.

Dr. Diane Pfahler, club advisor and psychology professor, said that the students had collected enough gifts that each child would receive two wrapped gifts and then get to pick one of the unwrapped toys from under the tree.

Donations from students, faculty, staff, and alumni made this year’s event a huge success. A student of Dr. Pfahler’s from over 20 years ago who saw the event on social media reached out with a donation to support this generous tradition.
