Probasco Dinner: Pattaya!
This 20-year-old tradition is a weekly casual dinner where residents can meet new people, connect with Harnwell peers, staff, and faculty, and enjoy a meal and good conversation. This week’s Probasco dinner is featuring one of our Philly favorites, Pattaya! This event is not grab-and-go; please plan to stay and eat dinner with us.
Late Night Study Break and Conversation with Prof. Merling
If you are in need of a study break, come by the Goldberg Lounge for some Honolulu cookies (first-come, first-served) and to shoot the breeze about whatever is on your mind with the Faculty Director in your House. If you want a late-evening challenge, I will also bring a very hard puzzle.
