Lunch and Conversation

You are invited each Thursday to programs on global issues while you enjoy lunches featuring food from around the world.  This series provides a forum for international students and scholars to discuss issues they think should be brought to the community or that they themselves would like to learn about.  No reservations needed.  Lunch is free for students (meal cards accepted at the door for those students with meal plans).  Parking on campus is extremely limited; community members can call I-Place at 909-607-4571 or e-mail ipoffice@cmc.edu to arrange for free shuttle service from the east end of the Claremont Metrolink parking lot on 1st Street, east of College Avenue.
