Parents Forum Meeting

The purpose of this forum is to meet and talk about issues that parents (or people planning to become parents) may face while in graduate school, and to discuss possible actions concerning those issues. Or it could be just a chance to compare stories and socialize with other parents. Or both! It's up to you. Feel free to bring a lunch (sorry, none provided), and any other interested parties.
