Professor Dinners

Have you ever wondered what your professors are like outside the lecture hall? What is the focus of their current research? What was life like when they were undergrads? Sneak in questions about a potential UROP, swap bad chemistry puns, or simply enjoy the company of some of the most reknown chemistry teachers and researchers in the country.

Our last Professor Dinner for the spring term was a farewell dinner for Kimberly Berkowski, at Sidney's (in the Hotel@MIT) on Monday, May 14th. Thanks to everyone who came to that event, as well as the dinner with Nobel Prize Winner Richard Schrock and the farewell dinner with Professor Joseph Sadighi.
