Director Chu's First
'Brown Bag' Monday





Chu

Berkeley Lab Director Steve Chu's first "brown bag" lunch with employees since he arrived in August is scheduled for next Monday, Jan. 10, from noon to 1 p.m. in Perseverance Hall. Employees are invited to bring their lunches and questions to the table and converse with the Director about Lab matters. The informal get-togethers were initiated by Chu's predecessor, Chuck Shank, two years ago to give staff the opportunity to engage in a dialogue with Lab leadership.
