Coffee and Culture Recap

Thursday October 14th was the latest coffee and culture and it was a great time! New members from the Bodega Bay trip stopped by and had a great time sampling Hawaiian cookies and madeleines. We talked about studying abroad, handed out flyers for the upcoming IEEC events, and (most importantly) spent some time outside on a beautiful day. Make sure to join us next time!

Next week’s Coffee and Culture goes hand in hand with the trip to the Pumpkin Patch. Bring your pumpkin with you for painting and carving. There will be free candy and apple cider, just make sure to wear a costume! We’ll provide the supplies, just don’t forget your pumpkin!
