Third Thursdays
Sips, snacks, and conversation—the Kaplan Humanities Institute invites faculty to join us for informal get-togethers on the third Thursday of each month. These will take many forms, all of which we hope will help generate community, connections, good will, and good cheer!
All Third Thursdays take place from 4:00 - 6:00 pm at the Kaplan Institute, Kresge Hall #2350.
