On Campus, 1st & 3rd Saturday evenings each month.
For All International Students & Scholars – from every culture & background – a unique opportunity for creating cross-cultural friendships and building bridges that contribute to making the world a better place. |
This is always a highlight... two times a month!
These times together are never dull, always an adventure! Join us and tell others. > Share your favorite foods and enjoy the foods others bring. A great time to experiment with cooking :) > Meet new international students/scholars. > Practice your English & learn new vocab. > Learn fun, crazy competitive games. > Join in lively discussions; share your ideas, and learn about each other, personally, culturally, and professionally. We begin eating at 6:00 and end at 8:30 If you don't have time to fix food and get here on time, come anyway, even without food -- as one student said, "It's the friendship we feed on." If you bring food, bring it ready to serve; it doesn't have to be hot -- If needed, use a microwave in Holland or Samson Center. We bring hot rice plus a main dish and a salad... Bring whatever works for you, but no soup or sodas. Or come without! Guaranteed... It will be fun! |
> We love short & easy . . . “Study Break” hikes! ... only last 3-4 hours max.
In between our bi-monthly Friendship Gatherings at Simoneau House, these hikes are great opportunities to see beautiful places without going too far. Living here for years, we know many easy hikes, easy to get, that others won't know about.
JUST HAD OUR FIRST HIKE... to a favorite Hidden Redwood Forest... sorry you missed it, but keep watching for our next one!
================================
We will meet in front of the MIIS library parking lot.

THINGS TO BRING:
> Long pants and socks above the ankle -- to protect against Poison Oak, which can cause serious skin irritation.
> Good shoes, hopefully with strong soles that won't slip. (About buying good hiking shoes, go to https://bit.ly/3KzLgDL.)
> Hat & sunscreen.
> Layers of clothes that can be taken off or put on depending on wind or fog.
> Lunch and water, absolutely!
> A backpack to put layers, food & water in. (Note, carrying things in hands is not recommended. You will often need to use your hands to grab on to things for stability or just pick things up to look at.)
