Closing Dinner for Participants and Staff

  • Location: Union South (next to Computer Sciences), indoors/outdoors
  • Time: 6:00–7:45 p.m. (or so)

We have scheduled a buffet dinner to wrap up the School. The buffet itself, and some tables, are inside. But if the weather is good, we will have easy access to outdoor space, too, and we encourage everyone to head outside with their food.
