REC Open Mentor Lab Hours are back every Thursday evening from 4 to 8pm at the REC Innovation Lab!  Any mentor can come for all, or part of the time, to meet with student founders, answer questions, and just have an opportunity to get together and connect with others who share a passion for entrepreneurship and innovation!  We really appreciate everything you do to help. I will be there every Thursday and I would be happy to see you whenever you have a chance to stop by. More information is below:
