This year HBES is pleased to continue the tradition of hosting a student mentor lunch. Students will choose to attend a session on one of four topics. There is a limit of approximately 20 students per topic. To purchase your ticket to the lunch register here.  If you have already registered for the lunch you must save your seat for your desired topic here.

NOTE there are a restricted number of seats for each topic so everyone may not be able to get their first choice. Since the “Evolutionary Psychology – The future of the field”  is sure to be of interest to many we will be recording it and making it available on-line if you want to attend another session.
