IEEC Barlow Trip Recap
We set out on another IEEC venture, this time to the Barlow in Sebastopol, the land of luxurious wine tasting, food trucks, restaurants, and dessert shacks. We started out at Pax Wine Cellars, which was a little nichè spot that had a lovely vintage and retro style to it, and poured out the back of a well-refurbished warehouse where we all tasted a selection of four red wines. After our little wine tasting session, we then moved on to get food at Blue Ridge Kitchen. (Although a classic international moment occurred when the three British students struggled to pay for their meal with their British bank cards, as the restaurant didn’t accept international cards, but it was all was sorted out!) We then finished the evening, with a splendid trip to an ice cream parlor that sold sundaes and desserts with an abundance of flavors, this was the real icing on the cake after a lovely evening out with lots of international chat with some great fellow internationals!
IEEC Movie Night
Monday, March 28th, 2022 @ 7 pm
IEEC will be welcoming back students from Spring Break with a movie night in the Student Center. We’ll supply the popcorn and drinks, just bring yourself and some candy. Students will be able to vote between “Mamma Mia” and “Midnight and Paris” on Instagram so make sure you’re following @ssustodyaway to select your pick!
