Faculty/Doctoral Student Friday
Join in this opportunity for all faculty and all doctoral students to talk informally about research ideas, teaching issues, conferences, future plans, etc. while enjoying light hors d’oeuvres and drinks. Thanks to the generous support of the iSchool Doctoral Guild, we will continue to host this event monthly.  The timing of this particular event is approximate, as it will immediately follow the IS PhD student prelims.
