Center City Restaurant Week

Calling all grad students: Center City Restaurant Week is upon us once again. For those of you new to the scene, this is a chance to dine at those fabulous restaurants normally reserved for those not on a student budget. For $30, you can enjoy a three course meal at one of over 107 participating restaurants. Restaurant Week will be taking place from September 23rd-28th.

The only catch? Reservations fill up quickly for this popular event, so snag your table in advance. You can book online at http://www.centercityphila.org/restaurantweek/default.aspx



This week also brings us closer to the end of the King Tut Exhibit at the Franklin Institute (it's over in 13 days!). If you haven't gone to see it yet, it's a must. King Tut's treasures haven't been in Philly since your parents were in college and they won't be returning anytime soon. Student tickets are only $24, so bring your ID when you go to pick them up. Reserve your tickets online at http://www2.fi.edu/tut/indivtickets.html



Finally, clear your calendar for October 4th- Campus Philly is sponsoring "Connections: Philly's Ultimate Networking Event" at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.

From their website: "This October 4, over 100 Philadelphia-area companies will meet with hundreds of college students as part of the region's premiere networking event. Campus Philly is connecting college students to jobs, internships, mentors, and career paths at Greater Philadelphia companies."

The event starts at 4 PM with an undergraduate networking hour (feel free to skip!), and includes a keynote speaker at 5:30. Matthew Bates, HR director for the Pepsi Bottling Group.

From 5:45-7, there will be a special graduate student networking hour. Register online at http://www.campusphilly.org/connections/gradstudents.html.
