We know that innovation never sleeps, nor takes a summer vacation. So, to keep your creative juices flowing year round the Lassonde Institute is introducing new summer events. Enjoy the Workshops, Meetups, and Hours with Experts that you loved during the school year while you put school on hiatus. Because, ideally, you’ll have more time now to explore your idea or business venture.
If you’re not sure where to start, join us for the 2016 House Party! It’s going to be a blast — free tacos from Taco Cartel, music by DJ Alive and plenty of students to network with. Feel free to bring your family, friends or next-door neighbor. The House Party will be Tuesday, May 24, from 4-8 p.m. at the Lassonde House (105 Fort Douglas Blvd., Bldg. 604, across from the University Guest House).
We can’t wait to see you there! Whether you’re living at Lassonde Studios or have no idea what we do at the Lassonde Institute, this party will be a meetup to kick off the summer and the upcoming year for all interdisciplinary students.
