Grab your favorite morning brew and drop into an Alma Café session on most Wednesdays from 9-9:45am for learning and conversation! Join an Alma Project Team host/barista for an informal series of Alma introductions designed to offer space to be curious about Alma and to share early learning, conversation, and Q&A.
The Alma Café is closed on first Wednesdays to allow you to attend the First Wednesday Presentation series, of course. Café sessions will be recorded and the link posted in the table below.
