Coffee ConneKtions: Spring 2024

YOU MAY ONLY SIGN UP FOR ONE SLOT.

Do not select a date/time that conflicts with your class schedule. Also, we ask that you please do not contact alumni directly to add more spaces. Additional dinners may be added after the initial schedule is released, so please check back. You may need to scroll across at the bottom to see all of the dinners.

WHEN REGISTERING, INCLUDE YOUR CLASS YEAR WITH YOUR NAME.

If you are signing up for an event at someone's home, please email Maurice Willis at mwillis2@kentlaw.iit.edu with any dietary restrictions.

IF YOU NEED TO CANCEL, please email Maurice Willis at mwillis2@kentlaw.iit.edu so he can contact the next individual on the waiting list. DO NOT remove yourself from the list. Cancellations are not permitted within 24 hours of dinner unless in case of an emergency.

Additionally, please pay attention to the date of the dinner as dinners span into multiple weeks. If you are interested in one of the unconfirmed dinners do not sign up for the already scheduled dates. You are only able to attend 1 event and you may not cancel without contacting Maurice Willis at mwillis2@kentlaw.iit.edu.
