The Sociology graduate students and faculty kicked off the semester with a warm and welcoming back-to-school pizza party! It was a wonderful opportunity for new and returning graduate students to connect with each other and faculty in a relaxed setting. Conversations flowed easily over pizza and refreshments. The event set a positive tone for the year ahead! Thank you to everyone who joined us—we’re looking forward to more opportunities this semester to build community, share ideas, and support one another’s work. Here’s to a great start to the academic year!
