This is an amazing opportunity to network with incoming peers of other departments, learn about their interests/research, and of course, enjoy some light refreshments together. Not only will you be able to meet with other incoming students from various departments, you will also be joined by Department Chairs, Graduate Advisors, and Graduate Student Association Presidents. The date and time of the mixer is TBA but usually occurs in September before classes commence. All incoming ME graduate students are strongly encouraged to attend.
