Meet Your Prof: October 25th, 5-7PM @ The Grad Club

Posted: October 19, 2011

1st week of school:
You tell yourself you’ll go visit all your profs in their office hours and become buddy-buddy.

2nd week of school:
You’d go visit them if you just knew where you put the syllabus with their office hours on it.

3rd week of school:
You would, but planning your Homecoming festivities takes up a lot of time.

6th week of school:
You can’t remember your own name anymore.

Tuesday October 25th, 5-7 PM at The Grad Club:
You decide to finally MEET YOUR PROF.

Whether you want to stop by for two minutes, or mingle for two hours, is up to you. Rest assured, there will be plenty of your profs, your peers, and platters (and platters) of delicious food to make the time fly by.
