Pasta and Possibilities
Pasta & Possibilities is a casual lunch where you’ll have the opportunity to meet representatives from research programs and campus organizations. Rather than listening to a series of presentations, you’ll rotate among tables, ask questions, and have conversations about research opportunities, funding, mentoring, academic support, and ways to get involved in research. Whether you are looking for your first research experience or planning your next step, this is a chance to connect with people who can help.
⚠️ We’re currently finalizing the schedule with representatives from campus programs. This page will be updated as programs/representatives are confirmed.
