Newcomers’ Monthly Coffee Meetings

 The University Club has a Newcomers’ Division as a bonus to members of the Club during their first 2 years. When you join the University Club, you are automatically added to the list of Newcomers unless you opt out. 

Newcomers’ meetings are held year-round on the 3rd Thursday, from 9:30 AM-11:00 AM. Summer meetings (June, July, and August) are held at City Park. Fall, winter, and spring meetings are held in the lower level of the Coralville library. There is plenty of parking, including an underground garage with a lower-level entrance for those bitter winter days. 

Come to the meetings and have fun while meeting new friends and participating in a variety of interesting and often educational programs. 

Watch for the monthly email with program details. Members of the Newcomers’ Division are encouraged to participate in all the activities and interest groups offered by the University Club. 

MARK YOUR CALENDAR FOR 3rd Thursdays 9:30-11:00 AM.
