Community Events & Service
Our events are designed to bring people together and strengthen the sense of community at Pratt. Whether through tech talks, pop-ups, cultural celebrations or collaborative service projects, these gatherings create space to connect across roles, departments and experiences. We believe that community is built in moments big and small, where people feel seen, heard and valued. Our events invite you to show up, build relationships and help shape the Pratt culture we share.
Community Events
Students, staff, and faculty are invited to come together for Pratt Third Thursdays, a new monthly series, plus favorite traditions like the Halloween Scavenger Hunt and more. Connect, be in community, and make memories on campus! Cloe Liparini.
