+The past year has been tough for all of us, having to deal with the pandemic
+while studying or working remotely. If you've felt that meeting new people and
+sustaining relationships with others has never been more challenging, we feel
+that too, and we want to talk about it.
+
+CSC brings you the third chapter of Afterhours, and this time we're discussing
+Personal Relationships. Join us for a chat about how our relationships
+(platonic and romantic) have been affected, whether that be due to co-op,
+sequence changes, or COVID. We'll be sharing our own personal stories and we'd
+love for you all to join in on the discussion.
+
+Registration is required for attendance, so don't miss out!
