Coffee Socials

Coffee Socials are one of the simplest and most effective events we run — a casual gathering with free coffee, snacks, and good conversation. These events are perfect for building connections between students, staff, and faculty in a relaxed setting.

🧩 How It Works​

  • We set up a space on campus with free coffee, tea, and snacks.
  • Students and staff drop by, chat, and hang out — no speeches or presentations required.

⚠️ Things to Consider​

Location​

  • Proximity matters: If you're hoping for professors or staff to attend, host the event close to where they work.
  • We typically use Herzberg Laboratories (HP 5345) because it’s near most faculty offices and familiar to CS students.

Scheduling​

  • Overlap with staff lunch breaks — this makes it much easier for staff and faculty to casually attend without rearranging their schedules.
  • Avoid peak class times so that students are more likely to drop by.

Room Setup​

  • If no effort is made, students will crowd around the entrance of small spaces like HP 5345. Consider setting up the tables in such a way it encourages students to go further into the room.
