We have weekly meetings every Monday from 7 to 8:30 pm at the Selvester's Cafe on campus.
This is a casual occasion where free coffee, tea and other snacks are provided, and everyone is welcome to drop by, including American students and the local community.

And I love eating food from different cultures! It's a great opportunity to develop cross-cultural friendships and make international students feel at home.
