Dear Students,
This week is Natural Sciences Week! Events throughout the week will celebrate some of the goings-on in the college and give you opportunities to network with student groups and with our faculty. Check out the events below and on the Natural Sciences Council website or on their Facebook page. There will be free food, t-shirts, and much more!
You are an important and proud part of the largest college at UT. I urge everyone this week to haul out those CNS t-shirts, or t-shirts from your department, from FRI, TIP, or all the other programs in the college. Let others on campus know where your home is. I look forward to seeing you around.
Best wishes for a fun and informative week,
Sacha Kopp
