EVERY WEDNESDAY at 5:00 PM IN BAC 147- BAGGAGE CLAIM

This is a place for those recently landed back at Loma. Unpack and build on your international experiences by connecting with others who have been abroad. Come share your stories and explore new ways of managing the joy and difficulty of coming "home." We will explore relevant topics and discuss what we've learned from the people, places, and cultures we've encountered in countries all over the world...and how those lessons have impacted us.
