EVENT RESCHEDULED - La Po Goes Global, an annual Spring semester dining event, is back by popular demand. The event, presented by University of New Mexico Food at La Posada, takes place Wednesday, April 12 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. This year’s menu includes a global selection of Italian, French, Indian, Thai and Argentinian cuisines.
This event was previously scheduled for April 4, but was rescheduled due to anticipated weather.
