Spring Meal Clubs

IP Meal clubs are back, and will run for the remainder of February (3 more meetings). Meal clubs are groups of students who join online or in person for a meal. Meal clubs are a great way to get to know other IP students through seeing the same faces each week.

There's still time to join the online meal club! It meets via Microsoft Teams
on Fridays from 12:00-1:00 p.m., and we'll have a student designated to keep conversation flowing. Join via this link.
