Celebrating the LGBTQ+ graduates of MIIS, December 2023! Lavender graduation ceremonies at universities across the country recognize the academic achievements and marginalized identities of LGBTQ+ students. In lieu of a specialized commencement event, graduating members of the LGBTQ+ community at MIIS are invited to an off-campus dinner sponsored by QAAAM (Queers & Allies @ MIIS). With this dinner, QAAAM hopes to honor the achievements of our lavender graduates, ground them in supportive community, and inspire them to look towards the future with possibility.

A Japan Club tradition. This event will provide rice and many different ingredients to make Onigiri and Sushi. We will teach people how to make all these delicious treats.

Middlebirdy invites you to an exciting birding adventure at Marks Ranch in Salinas! This wonderful field trip is hosted by the Monterey Audubon Society (MAS) and Big Sur Land Trust (BSLT). The outing will be led by a knowledgeable birder, allowing us to identify and learn more about our local birds. Located off of Highway 68 just north of Toro Park, Marks Ranch is named after Benjamin and Nisene Marks (after whom the state park was named), and was once an egg production ranch. The land and many of the original features are now preserved by the Big Sur Land Trust.

Come join us in the beer garden at Alvarado Street Brewery for some fun as we close out the semester.
