Hang out and recharge with your professors!
MAIS students and faculty are invited to a series of brief talks by MAIS faculty about their research and teaching interests—followed by time to ‘hang out’ in a relaxed, social environment. The cafés take place every two months on Tuesday afternoons from 2 to 3:30 p.m. (Mountain). Those teaching in the MAIS program, as well as program students or anyone taking one or more MAIS courses, are welcome.
