Computer Engineering Lunch schedule

For at least a couple of decades before the pandemic, we used to regularly have informal lunches for the faculty/staff/students involved in computer systems research (which I think we now call computer engineering) primarily from the UK CS and ECE Departments. Those weekly lunches unfortunately came to an abrupt stop with the pandemic. Now we are restarting the tradition, but with the name Computer Engineering (CPE) Lunch in honor of the BS, MS and PhD CPE programs the two departments jointly offer. Here's the currently-known schedule:

Spring 2023

11AM on Friday, May 5, 2023
We'll be trying a different venue this time: Kentucky Native Cafe. It's at 417 East Maxwell: take Maxwell, head to the right, then walk a block or so (about 400 ft from Rose, after Arlington). Michler's Florist is on the left. Go through the flower area to the cafe out back. All the seating is outdoors, but it looks like we'll have nice weather...

11AM on Friday, February 10, 2023
From the Doodle poll, it seems by far the most people would be available between 11AM and 1PM on Fridays, so we'll officially start Friday, February 10, 2023 at the Champions Kitchen which is in the Gatton Student Center on Avenue of Champions. At least some of us should try to be there to claim a table for the group by 11AM, but eating in the Champions Kitchen, it shouldn't be a problem if we don't all arrive or depart at exactly the same time.

Faculty and staff should be aware that there are meal plans that give a significant discount on food at the Champions Kitchen and, unlike student meal plans, employee meal plans do NOT expire as long as you remain employed by UK.
