If your team would like to use the lab space for your weekly meeting, please ask your graduate mentor or professor to email me at [email protected], as soon as possible with times, with first come first serve priority. Each team may reserve the lab for up to 2 (not necessarily consecutive) hours per week. All of these times will be posted on the website under the “For Lab Members” tab.
All of you should have card access to the lab, located in Exploratory Hall L106, by now. If not, please reach out to me to sort that out. We have many resources such as chalkboards, 3D printers and textbooks. Please feel free to use it for studying, collaborating and community building. With that in mind, please be respectful of others using the lab, especially during team meeting times.
When you have questions or comments about MEGL, please do not hesitate to contact me. We are looking forward to meeting all of you at orientation!
