Lunches this academic year will be in-person at the EJP offices at 1001 S. Wright Street, Champaign, with a special hybrid lunch on Oct 8th. For all in person lunches, EJP will provide lunch, though you are always free to bring your own.
You'll find drinks and snacks in the EJP offices.
Some lunches have a particular theme while others are less structured and members are invited to simply come as you are to meet other EJP members and engage in stimulating conversations about incarceration, criminal justice, reentry, EJP matters, and other issues of common concern.
As always, we ask that you please not attend in-person events if you feel sick. Guests and friends are welcome.
Schedule of Upcoming Lunches
**All lunches are 12pm-1pm and held at our offices at the University YMCA at 1001 S Wright St in Champaign. We'll meet in Room 216/Wahl Room for lunch. The second floor, where our offices are located, are accessible by stairs or elevator.**
