411 Fayerweather Hall
Host: Gil Eyal
The department of sociology is beginning a new experimental series - "Professor and Lunch" - directed at sociology majors, concentrators and any other undergrads who are interested in sociology. The idea is to meet with one of the professors in the department, in a relaxed atmosphere, who will speak about their work and answer questions from students. In particular, we would like you to learn about innovative ways of doing sociological research; what materials and methods sociologists use in order to figure out the questions that interest them. This should serve you well when you come to write your senior thesis or similar work.
Undergraduate Major Forum

Host: Gil Eyal
The Sociology Undergraduate Major Forum will be held on Monday, November 14, 2005 from 11:30-1:00 p.m., 411 Fayerweather Hall. Undergraduate majors and concentrators meet with faculty and hear about the courses offered in the spring, and get some information about how to plan your program of study for the following semester so you can fulfill the requirements in a timely manner. There will also be other announcements, including hopefully an adviser from the career education center to speak about jobs and opportunities after you graduate.
Lunch will be provided - please join us!
