Make Your Own Pupusas! | Hispanic Heritage Month
Come celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month by learning how to make pupusas, El Salvador’s most famous dish! Residents will have the opportunity to prepare and customize their own pupusas while learning about their cultural significance and Salvadoran heritage. Come enjoy good food, learn something new, and connect with your Stouffer community!
Sweet, but Scary
It’s time for your fall favorites! Join Gutmann for a Sweet, but Scary evening on Thursday, October 15th, 2026 at 6:00 PM, where we’ll be watching Hocus Pocus and making candy goodie bags. Come enjoy an evening of crafts, sweet treats, and a great movie!
The Harrison Harvest
Midterms are already creeping up, so let's hit pause and kick off October the right way. We are turning the lounge into an autumn escape, bringing the best parts of the season right to you. Join your neighbors from the 10th and 11th floors for a night of carving and connecting. We’ll have mini pumpkins and carving kits to create Jack-o'-Lanterns and an autumn themed photo corner / booth! It’s not autumn without food so we are setting up a cozy beverage station with fresh pumpkin spice lattes and warm apple cider. We also have a dessert spread featuring apple cider donuts and pecan pie served à la mode with vanilla ice cream. We hope to see everyone there to relax, meet some new people, and celebrate the start of fall!
