Meet & Cheese
Hey PNB!
You have been cordially invited to the PNB Society’s annual Meet and Cheese taking place November 15th from 4 - 7:30 PM in CIBC Hall!
Meet & Cheese is an opportunity to meet with professors and graduate students from various labs and talk to them about their projects. You can learn about the research conducted in and beyond the PNB department and the potential opportunities available to you as an undergraduate student! It’s a great way to get involved with research as either a QQ or thesis student!
Come dressed in your business casual attire for a great night! We will be providing complimentary snacks! Note: there will be halal, vegan, and gluten-free food options.

Coffee in Cootes
The PNB Society is hosting our first social event of the year... Coffee in Cootes!
Looking for a way to get to know your fellow students in PNB and release some pre-midterm stress? Look(out) no further!
We will be hosting a hike to Sassafras Point in Cootes Paradise, which is right behind the stadium! The trail is low-intensity, and takes about 40 minutes to complete round trip, but you can feel free to take it at your own pace. There will be a lookout point at the end overlooking Cootes Paradise.
A photo of the trail is on the next slide for your reference.
The meeting point will be outside of the PGCLL main entrance at 3 PM. There will be hot chocolate, coffee, tea, and snacks (possibly cookies 👀) provided until 5 PM at the PGCLL stairs, so you don't wanna miss out!
Everyone in all PNB programs are welcome, and feel free to bring a friend (doesn't have to be in PNB)! No registration is required!
