Everyone enjoyed conversations, empanadas from Caba Empanadas (https:\/\/www.cabaempanadas.com\/<\/a>), and drinks of tequila-based Paloma cocktails and non-alcoholic alternatives.<\/p>\n

After socializing for 45 minutes, President Jay Tapp made announcements of upcoming club events and introduced the three Guanajuato students. Isaac Aaron Quintamilla Melgar and Monica Herrera Zamora are both studying music\u2014they entertained the audience with their superb skills on cello and violin. Dana Paola Prieto Salazar, who is studying Business Administration, talked with the group about her experiences after one month in Ashland\u2014they were very positive, of course.<\/p>\n
