First Coffee and Culture Recap
On Thursday, September 7th, the International Education Exchange Council (IEEC) held their first Coffee and Culture of the semester. Half of the attendees were study away alumni while the other participants were students interested in going abroad! It was a nice opportunity to reminisce about our travel endeavors, discuss classes, and also give advice to our peers. Coffee and Culture is held every Thursday from 12pm to 1pm in International Hall 107 with different themes each week!
