Opportunity for fun with other members of SESN
During Congress, some students (and faculty) are going to climb the Grouse Grind on Wednesday June 4th. Sometime around 5 p.m. we will head out. At the top of Grouse Mountain, beer and nachos will be well deserved. It will be a great opportunity to connect with other students! Everyone is welcome. Bring water and good hiking shoes.
