Past Events
This page mentions past special events (so more unique than the monthly events like pub nights and meetings) that the GSO has run for the graduate students. Upcoming events can be found either on the main page, the Co-Sponsored Events page, or the Events Calendar.

Berry Tripping
When: Thursday, April 1, 5:30 p.m.
Where: BU Pub
Stop by the BU Pub on April 1 to take your taste buds on a palate-altering odyssey with Magic Berries, which make sour and bitter foods taste sweet. Impress your friends and wow your classmates as you perform fantastic feats of gustatory bravado: eat lemons and limes like candy, slurp vinegar like chardonnay, and turn dark beer into chocolate milk! But leave the savory snacks at home, as we'll be providing food for you to experiment on your temporarily transformed tongue. Magic berries will be $5 and there will be $1 drink tickets available.
Goodbye to Winter Reception

Time: 7 p.m. - 10 p.m.

event will be even bigger! We are co-sponsoring the event with the graduate
student government in College of Engineering, the Student Association of
Graduate Engineers (SAGE). The event will feature music, drinks, lots of
food (hors d'oeuvres, cookies, macaroons, spinach, artichoke, and feta dip,
chocolate-dipped strawberries, and more).
