August 2, 2018
Greetings!

This week, we launched CJ Coffee Hour hosted in the admissions office. Have some lingering questions about the start of the school year? Want to meet the new guy in admissions? Work downtown and want a quick cup of coffee before heading into the office (and it won’t cost you anything but a handshake and a hello)? No reason required, we would love to see you.

Stop by anytime 7-9 a.m. every Tuesday and Thursday through August 30th where fresh coffee and good conversation will be waiting. Please enter through the business office doors at Marianist Hall.

I look forward to meeting you. See you at CJ!
