Black Staff Lunch & Lounge

We know there aren’t many chances for Black staff to connect so join us for an informal lunchtime gathering at the new lounge space in Clearihue C117 on the third Tuesday of every month! We’ll have some casual conversation starters and light refreshments - drinks and snacks to share. It’s BYOL (bring your own lunch). On each event page, hit the “add to my calendar” button to mark the event.
