Coffee with the Chair starting Sept. 9th!

Dear Chemistry and Biochemistry Undergrads:

In an effort to alleviate that inevitable Monday afternoon crash, I would like to invite you to come have a cup of coffee with me on Mondays at 2pm in the Colony Bistro (restaurant between MoSE and ES&T - downstairs).  Just drop in - I will be around until 3pm most Mondays, or until the conversation and/or coffee run out.  I am interested to hear the undergraduate perspective of our School and the Institute as a whole, and am happy to share my thoughts on education, research, anything else you feel like talking about. 

Visit the CHEM Undergrad Blog (http://chembchmuggatech.blogspot.com/) for updates throughout the semester.  I STRONGLY suggest following that blog via RSS so you don't miss any important updates/announcements.

We will start these meetings on September 9th - hope to see you there!

-Andrew Lyon, Chair - School of Chemistry and Biochemistry

***IMPORTANT - PLEASE check the blog (http://chembchmuggatech.blogspot.com/) for updates - there will be some Mondays where I am unavailable due to travel and will have to cancel****
