DiscoverU

UCC College is hosting a new 4-week experience called DiscoverU designed to help first year college students find community & prepare for the journey ahead during their time in college. This experience will give you tools to navigate University life and who you want to become in your young adult years. Join us for the first 4 Thursday evenings of the Fall semester in the College Lounge at 6pm for dinner, community, and conversation!

Crowded Table

Dates & Times are internally shared.

Crowded Table is a once-a-month dinner gathering for LGBTQ+ college students. Here, we exchange our diverse stories and make every effort to support one another. This group takes seriously the privacy of those who attend, so the date,  time, and location of the gathering is provided upon a get-to-know-you phone conversation with our Minister to Students (Alison Fitzgerald) and/ or Director of College (Austin Schmidt).

Interested in coming? Reach out via email to Austin Schmidt or Alison Fitzgerald at [email protected]
