Join us in preparing for Thanksgiving by enjoying Friendsgiving with us! It’s potluck style so you get to show off your holiday culinary skills or keen culinary sensibilities in what you bring (don’t worry if you’re not able to bring anything, though). More details coming soon!

As fall classes end, come unwind with us as we celebrate Christmas together. Come dressed in your best ugly Christmas sweater (or however you like). There will be yummy food, games, and perhaps even an opportunity to show off your karaoke skills.
