What do you get when you mix a couple of comedians, a political commentator, a social entrepreneur, a few musicians and more? A phenomenal dinner party, that’s what!
We asked college students from all across the country who they’d invite to their dinner table for an evening of conversation, good food and maybe even a jam session. Read on to see who made the list.
P.S. Let us know who you’d have to dinner on Twitter + check out a few other guests that would be at the dinner table.
