Canaday custodian Felis Collazo said that he enjoyed the opportunity to interact with students and see a different part of Harvard.
"This is the first time I've ever been in this building," he said.
Maria Fuentes, who has spent almost two years working in the Lowell House Mail Room, said she was excited to meet some of the school's students at Saturday's event.
"I know every one of their names, but I don't know their faces," she said.
Fuentes also emphasized the interdependence between workers and students.
"It's good that the students recognize what we do for them," she said. "They need us and we need them."
Smith said the Living Wage Campaign also appreciated the chance to further develop its personal relationships with Harvard's employees.
