In response to the closing of the coffeehouse after 30 years of service, we hosted a tribute to the coffeehouse on March 31st. The counter was reopened for the first time since the closing, and attendees helped themselves to free coffee, muffins, and scones. In addition, we enjoyed live concerts by Dan Katz, Cephalopod, and Vienna Teng! Click here to see a few pictures from the event.

We've given out all copies of our compilation, "Songs From the Institute, Volume I"! Thanks for making it a success! Check out the Current Information page for artwork.
