***Note: Throughout the summer, we will periodically invite the students to attend informal lunches at various restaurants with “local flavor.” We invite all mentors and employers to attend any of these lunches, as it is a great way to meet and get to know other Bulldogs, mentors and employers in an informal atmosphere. Students must engage in at least one service project.
