Grad Café

Our monthly Grad Cafés provide a relaxed, drop-in space for graduate students to unwind, connect with peers, and take a break from academic pressures. Each Café usually centres on a creative or relaxing activity and light refreshments and are the perfect way to de-stress, express your artistic side, and build connections with your peers!

Featured Grad Café


Stop! Egg Drop and Roll! Challenge

Time: 12:00 - 2:00 p.m.
Location: ATK 124

Looking for a fun way to meet fellow Graduate Students? Are you feeling crafty and looking for an entertaining activity to test your skills? Do you want to win fabulous (chocolate bar) prizes?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you are going to love our "Stop! Egg Drop, and Roll Challenge"! Use the materials provided to create a safety shell (pun intended) to protect a Kinder Surprise Egg from a 1 metre drop. Experience the thrill of chocolate bar laced victory… if your egg survives.
