Students were encouraged to attend a pizza lunch on Friday afternoon. The cost of the lunch was $8.00 and the 15 students who attended the luncheon were engaged in discussion about graduate school placement, research, and teaching philosophies. Students requested that the location for the lunch, away from the conference hotel, be an annual event. Due to the lower cost of the lunch, more students were able to register and participate in this social and informative event. Pictures from the event are included below.
