HBAS Chicago April's Coffee and Conversation

 

Join HBAS Chicago for our April Coffee & Conversation, a relaxed and welcoming space to connect with fellow alumni over great coffee and meaningful dialogue. Whether you're new to the community or a familiar face, this gathering is the perfect opportunity to build relationships, exchange ideas, and enjoy a casual morning together.

As part of our ongoing Coffee & Conversation series, we are intentional about supporting Black-owned cafés across Chicago each month. For April, we’re excited to gather at a Black-owned café co-owned by Dr. Eve Ewing, a Harvard alumna, creating space to both build community and uplift Black entrepreneurship.

Guests will be responsible for purchasing their own food and beverages. A special discount code will be provided to those who RSVP and attend.

Come as you are, bring a friend, and stay as long as you’d like—this is all about connection, conversation, and community.
