Global Coffee Chat Series

The purpose of the Global Coffee Chat Series (GCCS) is to bring our members and the HKS community together around topics of common interest and spark connections and friendship. Providing members with time and space for intellectual discussion and social connection, the series connects members together and supports professional and personal development.
