HTC 2024 Social and Recreation Events

We are a social group and there will be many opportunities for dinner and recreation throughout the week.

Evening on the Terrace 

No sign up required.

On Wednesday following the close of the last session, we will be walking over to the Memorial Union for an Evening on the Terrace.

The Memorial Union serves brats, beer and other casual fare. Dinner will be at your own expense, but we hope the conversation and views will make it all worthwhile.

We don't have a reserved space, but we will try and sit together as much as possible.

Check out the videos of last year's Kayak Outing - it was beautiful and very fun! 

Thursday Evening Karaoke 

A group lead by Aaron Moate will be heading out to a nearby establishment for karaoke. This event is back by popular demand following last year's impromptu outing. We haven't finalized where we will meet yet, but will have these details set before HTC 24.
