Graduate Student Activities and Involvement
Come take a break from school and work with MRS! Join MRS for a boba and chill event on the quad next Tuesday evening after Soft Materials Seminar.
**boba not provided! We will walk over to Green St. to buy boba and gather back on the quad, weather permitting.
This March, MRS friends attended a cooking class lead by employees at the ARC Instructional Kitchen and made some delicious sushi rolls! Thank you to all those who attended, and stay tuned for our April social event.
Thank you to everyone who made it out our first Coffee Chat of the semester and made it such a success! We had a lively conversation about ethics in academia and even got Dr. Sparks up on the whiteboard to answer some interesting conceptual questions.
P.S. – we will be having our 2nd coffee chat on Monday February 26th with Prof. Adrianne Rosales from UT Austin. Read about her work here to prepare for this exciting conversation!
For the past 100+ years EOH has drawn hundreds of thousands of visitors to the University of Illinois and provided a unique outlet for visitors to explore engineering.
We are excited to help some of the MatSE undergraduate students with their engineering open house booths! If you would like to volunteer, please fill out the t-shirt order form. EOH will be April 5th and 6th from 9am-6pm on both days. More information on volunteer sign-ups to come soon, but t-shirt orders should be placed by this Wednesday at 11:59pm.

The event location will be shared after sign-ups are completed.
