Take a Professor to Lunch
Do you want to talk with someone who is an expert in their field and can share valuable life and career experiences with you? If you answered "yes" then you should consider participating in the "Take a Professor to Lunch" program. This program is designed to promote faculty and student interaction outside the classroom. Sophomores can pick up a lunch ticket at the Office of Student Success and Retention (5th Floor of the Conaton Learning Commons).
