Departmental Tea

Every Thursday that classes are in session, the department gathers in Room 114MB (the Synergistic Room) for tea, coffee, light snacks, and conversation. It is an important opportunity for everyone--graduate students, faculty, instructors, staff, and visitors--to meet and get to know one another in an informal way. Everyone is welcome!
