Welcome Week: With our physical layer taken care of this week we shift focus into the ethereal. We share meals, tell stories, imagine future’s, plan projects, recruit collaborators, watch movies and generally put it all out there. Like an extended brainstorming session this is the time to throw it all out there and see what sticks. Most of the Mars College schedule is flexible, but this week is important for people to be present and engaged.
