Join us for an evening of great food, a thought-provoking movie, and meaningful conversations with friends from around the world. We’ll be watching Unlocking the Mystery of Life, a fascinating film that explores the origins of life on Earth and asks whether biological life looks like it was designed by a higher intelligence. But it’s not just about the movie—it’s about connecting over dinner, sharing ideas, and enjoying the company of fellow international students in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Date: Friday, February 7 Time: 5:30–8:30 PM Location: 329 Riverside Ave Charlottesville, VA 22902 Rides: We're happy to provide rides to this event. Just reply to this email with your number and location, and we'll plan to pick you up at 5PM this Friday! OPTIONAL: If you'd like to contribute to the meal, we’d love your help.
