Global Spotlight Coffee Chats
Please join us in the Leadership Commons by the chapel as we continue our global coffee chat series again this semester. Even if you are interested in another destination, the global coffee chat series may help you learn from your fellow student colleague’s experiences abroad. Our global coffee chat series is offered through the support of our international students and American students who have lived, worked, served and studied abroad. This series provides the Stritch community an inside look at a country's culture through the stories and information presented by our students. The global coffee chat series is open to Stritch students, faculty, staff and our consortium partners. All programs take place from noon-1 p.m. at the Leadership Commons (located next to the Stritch chapel).
