Summer Dinner with the Faculty

Hi everyone,

Kristi had sent out an email via doodle poll a week ago (July 30th) to get an idea of the times people are available for our summer dinner with the faculty event. If you don't know already, our faculty host this time will be Dr. Veronica Marinez Cerdeno and her husband Dr. Stephen C. Noctor (who happens to be looking for a graduate student to join his lab). This will be a BBQ so come hang out!
