European Union Center Events

Curious about what types of projects and activities the EUC funds across campus? Please join us for a round of three-minute lightning talks by faculty and staff on EUC-funded activities from the 2023-24 academic year. This will also be an opportunity to socialize with fellow students, faculty, and staff in the EUC community. 

The event will start with a pizza party at 11:30am, followed by rapid-fire talks from 12:00pm to 1:00pm. We will also reserve some time at the end for informal conversations.
