Zoom Happy Hour 7p-9p (Eastern)/4p-6p (Pacific)
After
a dinner break, we conclude our programming with an opportunity to
gather informally and enjoy each other’s virtual company with a Zoom
happy hour. The theme will be tropical beach vacation (in contrast to
our typically bitterly cold in-person meet-ups). Special MATC
Fellow-focused drink recipes will be circulated ahead of time.
Participants will join our Zoom room and circulate freely between
several breakout rooms hosted by MATC members and focused on particular
conversational prompts, from the serious to the frivolous. We hope this
opportunity will fortify our sense of community and provide glimpses
into our collective needs moving forward.
