Grab a quick cup of tea or coffee and a treat while reading a page or two in between a busy class schedule, or stay as long as you like. Students, staff, and faculty are all welcome!

“St. Isidore’s Tavern” Pub Trivia Night
The Medieval and Renaissance Studies Minor is throwing a fun event to give students a laughter-filled study break and be reminded that history is quirky and fun. We've reserved Holy Grounds on Thursday, April 23, at 7pm for a pub trivia event we’re calling St. Isidore’s Tavern, and we will provide age-appropriate drinks, pub snacks, live music, and a slew of fun trivia rounds that cross disciplines in the humanities, with the common anchor of medieval and Renaissance studies. No expertise is needed—questions are designed to be guessable for the uninitiated. Please come out, bring friends, come up with quirky team names, and take a break from the “slings and arrows of outrageous” homework!
Ringside Seating: Apologetics Club with Fr. James
Do you have questions about God? Do you think the Catholic Church gets things wrong? Bring ALL your questions to Ringside Seating - a new weekly discussion hosted by Fr. James every Thursday at 8pm in the Mezz. Whether you are searching for what to believe in or you want to know how to answer tough questions about faith, come down to the ring. Students of all faith backgrounds are invited! You bring the questions, we bring the popcorn.
