Take Your Professor or Adviser to Lunch
The Eberly College of Science Dean's Office will cover the cost of lunch, a coffee, or a Creamery cone at any of the University's dining halls or at the Creamery for up to three Eberly College of Science students and a faculty member, instructor or adviser.
Building a healthy student-faculty/staff relationship involves engaging in meaningful conversation outside of the classroom. Stuck on how to initiate one? Take them out to lunch!
