Small World Coffee Hour

Small World Coffee Hour (SWCH) gives all international and US students, staff and faculty the opportunity to meet with each other in a relaxing environment and to learn about other cultures and traditions around the world. SWCH events are free and take place every other Friday from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. Approximately 200 people attend each event, so come join us in the fun!

Every event features a different theme, various activities, lively music and an array of wonderful foods related to that theme. Numerous nationality organizations add flavor to SWCH through demonstrating and explaining a slice of their culture or traditions. To name a few, we've enjoyed an Iranian New Year Celebration, a Japanese and Middle Eastern Festival, a Chinese Moon Festival, a Latin Dance theme and Halloween Celebration.

See our calendar and upcoming SWCH to find information about joining us!
