Join Graduate Student Life on Monday, July 30, for a popular DC summer pastime, Screen on the Green, a free movie showing on the National Mall. Bring a blanket, your favorite snacks, and some friends to see the classic suspense film, “Wait Until Dark,” starring Audrey Hepburn. The movie starts at sunset (around 8:00pm), but you have to arrive early to stake out a good seat.

We’ll meet at the Navy Archives metro station at 5:00pm and then walk to the Mall together. The event is free, but please RSVP to Laura Polk at lpolk2@umd.edu and include your department and how many guests you plan to bring (there is no limit).

Contact Laura Polk at lpolk2@umd.edu with questions.
