On the evening of December 16th, the MSE Graduate Student Association (MSEGSA) organized a festive potluck dinner in the Graduate Common Room. Graduate students and some faculty members, including the department Chair, Prof. Hani Naguib, came together to celebrate the season. A Secret Santa gift exchange added a fun and cheerful touch, making for a lively and memorable evening.
Earlier in the week, on December 13th, the Department of Materials Science & Engineering (MSE) hosted a holiday luncheon at the Faculty Club for faculty and staff. The event, held after the faculty retreat, offered a warm and relaxed setting for attendees to connect and reflect. Prof. Hani Naguib thanked everyone for gathering and shared a message of appreciation while looking ahead to the upcoming year.
Both events were a wonderful way to close out the year, bringing together the department’s faculty, staff, and students to celebrate the season. Here’s to a bright and exciting year ahead!
