Stop by and say hello to our new MSE admin, Kati! #PurdueDayofMaterials — March 31st Join us for Purdue Day of Materials on March 31 Purdue Day of Materials is the first annual celebration of all things Materials Engineering, and we invite you to be part of it. On March 31, we're inviting the Materials community to share the stories, experiences, and achievements that make this community so special. Whether it’s a favorite memory, project highlight, research experience, internship story, career update, or reflection on what materials engineering means to you, we want to hear your story. To participate, post on LinkedIn<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fcompany%2Fpurdue-university-school-of-materials-engineering%2F&data=05%7C02%7Cmsepostdoc-list%40ecn.purdue.edu%7Ca82c21429e0d467327ef08de88ea39d2%7C4130bd397c53419cb1e58758d6d63f21%7C1%7C0%7C639098736827942077%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=aoUhI6QXO61I7FfDp9iaVICzhoGgqlfrFUxUdCN1LGo%3D&reserved=0>, Facebook<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FPurdueMSE&data=05%7C02%7Cmsepostdoc-list%40ecn.purdue.edu%7Ca82c21429e0d467327ef08de88ea39d2%7C4130bd397c53419cb1e58758d6d63f21%7C1%7C0%7C639098736827971558%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=5Va00%2BMJ3pL8%2FJ0zB1IhksNpCn7B6YC26H6QutgWpQ8%3D&reserved=0>, or Instagram<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fpurdue.mse%2F%3Fhl%3Den&data=05%7C02%7Cmsepostdoc-list%40ecn.purdue.edu%7Ca82c21429e0d467327ef08de88ea39d2%7C4130bd397c53419cb1e58758d6d63f21%7C1%7C0%7C639098736827989765%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=dtHlTn6qgyLB1SkpHY%2Fb1ucKKkUbhDWjlhFixo2D1uw%3D&reserved=0> and do two things: 1.
