Tea and Talk

Tea and Talk is a space for both international and American SCAD students to network, exchange culture and gain support from one another.

Tea and Talk hour is held each Friday from 1-2p.m. in Habersham Hall. During the hour together, students engage in cultural activities and games as well as discuss topics that interest them.

Any SCAD student is welcome to join the Tea and Talk hour. However, there are many ways that you can get involved beyond our weekly meeting.
