Course Development & Web Services (CDWS) hosts brown bag lunch (BBL) events twice each month for campus faculty and staff as well as off campus visitors. Guest speakers, often experts in their field, share information on a variety of topics ... The goal of these informal and relaxed events is to encourage the development of learning communities by bringing together individuals with mutual interests, ideas, and questions. The entire campus community is invited to attend brown bag lunches, however, RSVP is required.

CONT

At these luncheons, the Honors Program invites a different professor every week to host a one hour-long discussion session. Our goal is to provide faculty and Honors students with a casual context where they may discuss topics of interest and visit with one another in a more personal setting ... The brown bag lunches are always held in the Honors Lounge ... All you need to bring is yourself and something for lunch.
