Comments from past participants:

a student playing Jenga with text that reads: Global Café has been my weekly highlight ever since I started going. I’ve met some of my closest friends here and got to see how big and beautiful the world is without leaving campus. We’ve shared stories, tried different foods, and laughed—a lot. It’s made my time at university so much richer and more fun - Shagun
Students standing and smiling with text that reads - I like going to Global Café because I get to meet different people and socialize. I also really enjoy how there are different themes (and free food) each week. My friends and I would always go participate and relax while catching up after a hectic week. - Toni
3 students standing and smiling with text that reads Global Café is a social event that kind of reminds me of a club because you are building that bond with people that visit regularly. I have seen many people that have found some of their best friends there, and that includes me! - Wajd
