See the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra in concert! Students can get $5 tickets at the door right before each show.
Feast/meal of the times? Details, please!
I have an awesome tiramisu-inspired recipe that everybody loves.
The goal of this initiative is to highlight the diversity of backgrounds and perspectives in the Department of Chemistry and help our community develop stronger connections and synergies. You can think of these spotlights as the beginning of a conversation that we very much hope you will continue in the corridors of Hutch and beyond.
