School of Science Drop-in Events
1:00-3:00 pm – Departmental Reception (Science Complex North, 2nd-floor bridge between Chemistry and Biology)
Drop-in any time to talk with professors and current students from our five academic departments: Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics & Statistics, and Physics. In addition to catching up with your former professors, you’ll be able see examples of our current students’ research and take tours of our departmental laboratories and other spaces. In addition, we’ll be saying “goodbye” to the connector bridge, as it will soon be taken down to make way for a new Chemistry Addition.
