A Mackay alum will be teamed with a student at each entrance to the buildings to hand out tour directories and direct guests to the various departments. An informational table will be set up on the 3rd Floor, LME. Each department needs to have faculty and staff on hand to greet guests and lead them on informed tours of classrooms, laboratories, etc.

We encourage everyone to have their laboratories open with a knowledgeable person on hand to greet and talk with guests. Please inform Ken Smith of your lab's name and location so it can be included in the tour directory.
