IEP House Dining

Back
 
The IEP House"An important component of the IEP House is its dining program, which began with the reactivation of the old fraternity kitchen [in 1998]. The IEP House offers meals to residents, but also to all faculty and non-resident IEP students. Dining at the German Summer School in 2000The dining room, therefore, has become a meeting place for the program in its broadest sense. Students can be heard bemoaning the latest calculus exam, discussing cultural differences between Germans and Americans, swapping Dining at the 3rd Annual Colloquium on Int'l Eng. Ed.stories about their internship experiences abroad, or expressing anxiety about going abroad the next academic year. With four or five faculty in the dining room at lunch time, this becomes a place and time for students to get advice or for faculty to move closer to the concerns of their students."
