We are excitedly awaiting the department’s annual prospective grad student open house this coming weekend (March 9-11).  Please help us make our all of our potential new students feel at home by coming to mingle at our poster session on Friday and keeping your office door open this weekend.   Of course we invite everyone to join us on Saturday evening in CHB 102 for a “family dinner” of fun and socializing.

A more detailed schedule is posted in the Events section.

Friday at the first annual Winter Homebrew Social, nine teams of grad students shared their artfully-brewed creations with over 100 fellow students, post-docs, faculty and staff to rave reviews from all.  In a fierce balloting show-down, Brad MacLeod narrowly claimed his second consecutive “Best-in-Show” title with his 50% rye SecAle II.  His effort will be immortalized on a plaque in the lounge.

We’re pleased to announce, welcome you to, and otherwise show off the launch of our new website.  Stay tuned as we get it updated and fully functional.
