Coffee Chat

Coffee Chats are designed to engage students and faculty in an interactive, informal discussion regarding current research or trending topics in fields relative to Humanities, Communication, Law, and Music. The intended audience of the Coffee Chat is aimed at Arts and Communication majors and faculty; although professors, at their discretion, may invite students from their classes. Professors are invited to share their current research or interesting past experiences.
