Centro Weekly Study Nights
Every Sunday evening, a different student organization "hosts" Study Nights by bringing snack to share with the community. Students stop by to grab a late night snack and connect with other students. Students come in to work on group projects, ask questions about problem sets or work on their writing assignments.
