Meet, Greet, and Eat
Don't eat lunch alone - join other students and meet for crafts and more!
Meet, Greet and Eat?
In collaboration with Creative Collective and the Global Student Centre, "Meet, Greet, and Eat" is a safe and inclusive space for students to hang out, meet new people, eat lunch together, and participate in fun and creative activities including crafts and games.
No material? No problem!
Our creative crafts will use supplies that are commonly found in every student's home! All activities are optional.
Enjoy doing crafts or simply hang out and connect with others.
All students are welcome!
