This spring, join us for an engaging discussion with Shannon Roberts, Associate Professor of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering in the Riccio College of Engineering.
Grab a slice and pull up a chair—it’s your chance to network and chat with a professor in a relaxed, friendly setting. Each Pizza & Prof event brings together students and faculty for great conversation, fresh ideas, and (of course) pizza!
Dr. Roberts will share her journey to engineering, research, and academia as well as her experiences navigating higher education and identifying her passion. Learn about her research focusing on Human Factors, transportation safety, and driving automation systems and gain insights that might inspire your own career path.
Plus, all attendees can enter into a raffle for a chance to win a Commonwealth Honors College-branded Stanley tumbler or a CHC L.L. Bean tote bag!
Come hungry for both pizza and thought-provoking conversation!
Pizza & Prof Night is made possible by generous donations from parents, friends, and alumni of Commonwealth Honors College.
RSVP online now.
