Whilst listening to some holiday tunes, you will also get the chance to decorate-your-own gingerbread cookies! MISC will provide the cookies and decorations. We’ll also be bringing some board games. Feel free to bring some of your own!
The evening will be cozy and relaxing…a great way to end the stressful semester! We hope to see you there.
