The English Conversation Circles (ECC) are being held both virtually and in person for the Spring 2022 term. Read more In-person meetings will take place on Wednesdays from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. Because we have a capacity limit of 15 people for the in-person ECC, we ask that students pre-register and commit to attending all 6 weeks of the program. Students will be admitted to the in-person sessions on a first come, first served basis.
