What’s on
The café is not only a lunch counter. Across the semester the dining hall and the campus courtyard host vendor markets, DJ lunch sets, cultural food days, welcome week cookouts and fundraising dinners — all cooked and run by the 3D’s team.
Everything below is open to students, faculty, staff and the wider South Holland community unless the listing says otherwise.
We run events across 7 categories, from welcome week through to the holidays.
