Dinner with a Prof provides BUGS members with an exclusive opportunity to meet and talk with professors one-on-one in a casual, relaxed environment. Get to know more about their research and build your network while enjoying dinner at The Wave with other students. It’s a great way to meet professors who you don’t have class with, or just talk with your professors in a less intimidating setting. Many students have acquired lab positions and even thesis professors through Dinner with a Prof.

Most Dinner with a Prof sessions are scheduled for 6pm to around 8pm at the Wave; exceptions will be noted. If you’re interested in attending a dinner or have any questions, please send us an e-mail at westernbugs@gmail.com with “Dinner with a Prof Signup (date of dinner)” in the subject line. See you there!
