Prof Night

Prof Night is a social event where students and professors can connect outside the classroom in a relaxed, informal setting. It’s one of the best ways to build community between students and faculty and encourage open conversation.

We’ve hosted Prof Night at Mike’s Place and Ollie’s Pub — both located in Carleton’s University Centre (UC).

🧩 What It Is​

  • A casual evening event where students and profs gather for food, drinks, and conversation.
  • We usually provide attendees with a (non alcoholic) Free drink ticket

⚠️ Things to Consider​

Survey Profs for Best Date​

  • Profs have busy and varied schedules. Send out a Doodle poll or short survey to gather availability before booking a date.
  • Avoid midterm season or major deadlines.

Promote at the SCS Meeting​

  • Announce the event at the School of Computer Science meeting to get buy-in and spread the word internally.
  • Profs are more likely to attend when they know other colleagues are going too.

Email Reminder to Profs​

  • A few days before the event, send a short reminder email to all invited faculty.
  • Include:
    • Time & location
    • Encouragement to drop by even if only for part of the night
