Lunch and Learns are monthly events where a faculty/staff member from campus or a Flint community member will tell us about themselves and their academic or professional journey and also answer any questions people in the space will have for them. So if you ever want to learn more about someone's profession, feel welcome to join in while having something to eat since food is always provided!
