Cook & Connect Kitchen is a monthly event designed for UC and CIT students, where participants can share food and conversations over a dinner prepared by their peers. Taking place on the last Thursday of every month, this event fosters social connections through diverse cultural cuisines, allowing students to experience a taste of the world without leaving Canberra. The next gathering is scheduled for February 27, 2025, from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM at the CIT Bruce Canteen. This initiative is supported by Connect Up 2617 and aims to strengthen community ties among students.
