Neighbor Nights 
Get to know your neighbor...one dinner at a time!
Every other Tuesday during the school year, join us at our Neighbor Nights, sponsored in collaboration with Baylor Dept. of Multicultural Affairs. These gatherings, often hosted by multicultural student organizations, provide relational opportunities to fellowship, foster intercultural engagement, and get to know your neighbor...all while enjoying delicious food!
 
Each Neighbor Night highlights different cultures and stories from students as we share cultural cuisines prepared by students and the hosting organization.
 
Neighbor Nights are free, and open to all Baylor students, staff, and faculty!
