Below is the list of student hosts, including the amazing things they are involved in on campus. Please note the host's classes to shadow and the dates the hosts are available. You may choose a different host for class shadowing, the lunch meeting, and afternoon coffee if you want different perspectives on campus, or all the same host. It's completely up to you!
If you want to read a description of a class listed, look it up the course catalog here: https://catalog.mines.edu/. When looking up course numbers (ex: CSCI274), do not include any spaces.
