Join us for Coffee Across Cultures, a monthly program that invites international students, scholars, and the broader community to come together over a warm cup of coffee or tea. Coordinated by the students in our Global Educators Program, each month, we’ll feature a unique theme—highlighting different regions, traditions, and aspects of global culture—so you can discover new flavors, learn about diverse customs, and connect with people from all corners of the world.

This relaxed, inclusive gathering is the perfect opportunity to share stories, ask questions, and build friendships with individuals who share your curiosity and openness. Whether you’re new to campus or simply looking to broaden your horizons, come sip, explore, and celebrate the richness of our global community.

This month, our theme is Spring Traditions Around the World. From colorful festivals to meaningful rituals, discover how different cultures welcome renewal, growth, and sunshine.

What to Expect:

  • Complimentary coffee, tea, and light snacks
  • A new and engaging theme each month tailored to the interests of the international community
  • Thoughtful discussions and activities led by Global Educators
  • A warm, welcoming atmosphere to form meaningful connections
