Coffee & Conversation features discussions between invited guests and COA faculty members and trustees. Sessions are 1 hour and include audience Q&A. Coffee and pastries are served prior to each session. 

All Coffee & Conversation events are held in the Davis Center for Human Ecology on the north end of COA's campus. Virtual participation instructions are provided to participants during event registration.

Coffee & Conversation events are free and open to the public, and pre-registration is required for both in-person and virtual participation. Registration is now open.
