Breakfast Club
Periodically, we host a breakfast club to facilitate networking and learning in an informal setting. Guests join to share their experiences and knowledge on topics ranging from starting your own lab to patenting your research. Plus, there's coffee and usually breakfast!

Monthly Social Events
Every month, we host a social event to unwind and get to know your colleagues. In the past, we've done happy hours at restaurants near campus and ice cream socials, to name a couple, but we're always looking for new ideas! Get in touch
