This new tradition will be held every Friday afternoon during the spring and fall semesters at 44 Kent Way, the new home of UD’s global and graduate communities.
“We are very excited to be launching this new signature event on Friday,” said OISS Director Ravi Ammigan. “Our hope is that it will help build an engaging community not only for our international students and scholars but also for the larger UD community through opportunities for cross-cultural interactions and global connections."
All students and scholars are encouraged to bring friends, classmates and colleagues to share and learn and to start the weekend right with great conversation and coffee.
