It's been awhile since we had Lunch on the Lawn. Since the weather is getting warmer, what could be better than a quick "picnic" lunch in between classes? We'll be bringing some sandwiches to the steps behind the Triton Statue around 12 noon this Thursday. Drop by for some hang out time and grab a quick bite to eat!
