For Graduate Students
For Graduate Students:
The Tea and Chocolate Club will host a tasting event for graduate students Tuesday, July 25, from 5:30 to 7 p.m., in the courtyard at the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences.
Attendees will have the opportunity to sample a variety of teas from around the world (green, oolong and black), alongside a selection of chocolates ranging from 48 to 90% cocoa. As a summer special, with the support of the Office of Graduate Student Life, there also will be a variety of cold-brewed teas.
In the event of rain, the event will be held in the third-floor atrium of the Peter B. Lewis Building.
View over a thousand lanterns at the Cleveland Zoo's Asian Lantern Festival. Also enjoy live acrobatic performances and culturally inspired food. It's a great way to enjoy a summer's evening. The event is held Thursdays through Sundays starting at 6:30 pm, through August 27th.
