Bodega Bay Day Trip Recap

October 9, 2021

Thank you to everyone who came along on IEEC’s first trip of the 2021-22 school year! The weather on the coast was perfect and the group ended up enjoying two hikes along the gorgeous cliffside. Students were also able to enjoy fresh seafood, salt water taffy, and to explore the town of Bodega itself. We were very excited to host one of the first SSU day trips since the beginning of COVID19 and can’t wait for the next outing. Be sure to sign up for our trip to the Pumpkin Patch -- you won’t want to miss out on the fun!

It’s time for Coffee and Culture again! Try out some tea cookies from various countries and have a warm drink with the IEEC. This is the perfect event to meet new international friends, discuss studying abroad, and unwind between classes.
