"True Biz" - NTID's Weekly Chats

Monday, September 29, 2025 12:30–1:30 PM

Description
Hello and welcome to Fall 2025! We are excited to continue our weekly "coffee chat" gatherings each week. We will be updating our marketing as we are now calling this "True Biz". (If you don't know what "True Biz" means - in ASL/Deaf culture, it means "real/serious talk, to have an honest conversation." These chats may be serious, fun, informative or tell us what's on your mind. We want YOU to feel connected to one another).
