You are invited to the LAS bi-weekly "Lunch and Learn" series, which starts next week (Tues., Sept. 4), at which faculty will be invited to speak about their research area and the joys involved in undertaking this process. The aim of the lunches is two-fold: 1. to introduce as many of our faculty and their specializations to our students, and 2. to give students an idea of what is possible in the various fields of study (capstone and certificates), and how to do research in those areas. A light lunch will be provided by LAS.
