The Student Activities Office at Maharishi University of Management is once again facilitating evening chats between faculty and students. The chats allow faculty, community leaders, and students to meet informally outside of the classroom. During the chats, the group discusses any questions that students might bring up as well as mutual topics of interest. All Maharishi University of Management students are invited to sign up for an “Evening Chat.”
Maharishi University of Management’s (MUM) Student Activities crew has scheduled the following chats:
