Recent Tea Time Festivities

Many thanks to graduate students Alif Silpachai and Jessica Harmon, department staff Brandon Washington and Frankie Hayduk, and several other dedicated students and staff for carrying on the department’s Tea Time tradition! Two recent tea time celebrations are highlighted below:

Tea Time: Halloween Edition Halloween is a favorite departmental holiday, and this year we enjoyed a multitude of treats, including Jessica’s pumpkin cookies, and a box of Halloween sweets from Frankie. In addition, the jack-o-lantern drawing was held, and 4 lucky students each won a $25 gift card to Amazon.com. Congratulations Arunima, Chorong, David, and Peter!
