Hey All, and a big welcome to the new cohort of MSE graduate students! We've got events lined up throughout the whole week to help kick off the semester. Here's a reminder of the schedule: Ice cream social, 8/15 @ 4pm: Meet on the north side of the engineering fountain at 4pm to enjoy some ice cream and catch up. This is a great chance to meet the new class or reconnect with colleagues and faculty who you haven’t seen over the summer. Trivia at The Tap, 8/16 @ 8pm: The Tap in Chauncey Village hosts weekly trivia games featuring everything from world history to 90’s TV. Join the MSE team to enjoy some bar snacks and shoot for 1st place. Sand Volleyball, 8/17 @ 7pm: Come challenge our infamous intramural team! Meet at the courts between the TREC and CoREC. Free parking is available near the track (red star on the map) and the courts are at the blue star.
