It's Ula After Dark -- our special after-hours events series to bring the community together around good culture and great food.


On Friday February 28th, we're gathering for an evening of socializing, celebration, and learning with prominent professors discussing Black history and excellence. Expect engaging conversations, meaningful connections, and a night to remember!


We'll have the full menu available (plus beer and wine!) so you can have dinner and drinks too.
