IEEC Pizza & Game Night Recap
We had such a fun and chill night celebrating National Pizza Day last week while enjoying some games with the global community on campus! With just under 20 folks in attendance, two lively games of Dobble and Exploding Unicorns, and all the pizza we could eat, we had an amazing time! We also enjoyed being able to connect with our new international and exchange students on campus!
