Spring Fling 2017

On April 22, 2017 ILSSA hosted the 2017 “Spring Fling” at the FedEx Global Education Center at UNC. The event was co-sponsored by SCALA at UNC who provided a generous financial contribution to allow us to provide free food to the SILS community to celebrate the end of the amazing 2016-17 year! If you took photos you’d like to share, please send them to ilssa@unc.edu.
