Wednesday, October 8: Coffee Tasting and Networking Practice

McGregor 325 @ 4:15 PM

Hosted by: Morgan McArdle & CS Staff

(Closed) RSVP Here!

In this workshop we'll taste different coffees with some fun food pairings, and learn about where they come from. 

For the tea drinkers, we have an herbal tea made of the coffee fruit that makes the beans!

We'll also practice networking in a different way that doesn't involve elevator pitches, in order to make genuine connections. 

We especially invite students who have been wanting to break out of their shell and meet new people!

Post-workshop summary

We learned really cool things about the coffee trade, learned to slurp coffee, and otherwise hung out and spent time talking with others about coffee.
