The Health and Life Sciences Village hosts “Tea Time” every Thursday, where tea and snacks are placed on the table for students to drink and eat.

But even with the packed capacity, the two boxes of tea and plate of Nutella biscuits that the village ambassador placed on the table remained untouched on Feb. 19.

There is no other information about Tea Time other than the description given from the campus events calendar.

“This is a poorly advertised event,” said village ambassador Landon Truong, 19, electrical engineering and computer science major. “not a lot of people know about it.”

While the rumor of hail was heard, the students inside the village seemed more excited about that than taking notice of the boxes of tea and a plate of biscuits at the table.

“De Anza’s social life isn’t really good,” Truong said. “Events like this (Tea Time), even if you don’t partake in the tea, bringing friends and eating snacks facilitates conversation and social interaction.”

Most students inside the village were mostly busy studying individually or in groups for the duration of Tea Time.

“No, I did not,” said Mary Kate Cawicaan, 22, biology major about if she knew Tea Time was happening.

Cawicaan was studying inside the village while tea time was happening.

Cawicaan said that even if she knew it was happening, she was too busy to participate or have the time for school events.

Village Tea Time was created by English instructor Brian Malone, who is also one of the instructors behind setting up village events.

Malone directed Village staff and ambassadors to not talk to La Voz; he also personally declined to comment.

After being informed of the policy, Truong said he did not know his position as a village ambassador restricted him from doing an interview.

The events calendar has details on upcoming Village Hangout activities, including the time and the village location.
