Klatch: n. /kläch/: a casual gathering of people for intellectual conversation.
Do you ever leave a cultural event and wish you could spend time processing it, talking about it, and listening to others’ perspectives on the topic? While simultaneously enjoying free coffee and cookies? If so, prepare to add some stimulating events to your calendar!
Each semester, the Intellectual Climate Working Group plans Coffee Klatches, a series of discussions that occur immediately after cultural events open to all Elon students, staff and faculty. These conversations, which come with complementary coffee and desserts, welcome anyone who attended the event as well as anyone interested in hearing about the topics covered.
