Fall 2018 Coffee and Klatch Series

Welcome back, Terps!

We hope you had a wonderful summer. Now that the fall semester is in full swing, we cordially invite you to join us for our Coffee and Klatch series.

You may be asking, what is a Coffee & Klatch?

 “A social gathering, especially for coffee and conversation.”

These informal sessions are designed to build community and develop ideas. And drink coffee. Don’t like coffee? No worries. We are emphasizing the community building aspect of the klatch. Keep your eyes peeled for the specific locations, but mark your calendars for our fall schedule:

Friday, Sept. 7 | 11:00 to noon
