LHBuddy Social Events (Including December welcome event for new LHB class):
Approve events with the LHB faculty leadership. Leder will cover food (nothing extravagant), but alcohol is on everyone’s own tab (perhaps with the exception of the December Welcome event if we do drink tickets or something, but that is also at the discretion of the faculty). Have a sign-in sheet at the event and include it with your receipt(s) for reimbursement at DMS.
