Pizza with a Professor (10/13)

The Pizza with a Professor program takes place twice a semester. A faculty member in the Government Department meets with students for lunch and conversation. Students come to learn more about a faculty member’s research, teaching philosophies, and journey to become a professor. Pizza with a Professor is a wonderful way to get to know faculty outside the classroom over pizza.

Pizza with Prof. Ramesh will take place on Thursday, October 13, from 12-1 PM, in Usdan 110. RSVP here.
