Students, faculty, and staff are invited to celebrate the “First Friday” tradition of gathering on the first Friday of the month and connecting over coffee (or hot chocolate) and fresh cinnamon rolls near the Gazebo behind Deliso Hall. In the case of inclement weather, the gathering will take place in Campus Center A.
There is no agenda other than to greet fellow Golden Bears and perhaps make a new acquaintance or two from across campus. You are welcome to stop by anytime between 8:30 and 9:30 am and stay for as little—or long—as you like.
This new tradition is a great opportunity to celebrate the end of the week and the beginning of the weekend, in addition to starting your day in the company of friends and colleagues.
