History
Inaugurated by International Student and Scholar Services in fall 2007, international coffee hours have included regional specialities from India, the Caribbean, Norway, United Kingdom, Southeast Asia, China, Afica, and more!
The series has proven highly successful, with attendance averaging 50 people, including a good mix of faculty, staff and students. This has been a great way for students and faculty/staff from all over the world to meet and socialize.
All coffee hours are hosted by ISSO and indiviaul international student groups and volunteers.
