In October we are going to have our Annual Boat Race and welcome picnic. Graduate and Undergraduate Presidents and VPs will meet again to discuss the details of this fun event.

Brown Bag Research and Invited Speaker Talks

Brown Bag Research Talks will be starting again this quarter.  Quote from the website: "These talks are held at least twice a month, on the first, third (and fifth) Thursdays of the month, during the lunch hour. The format will provide an opportunity for advanced doctoral students to present their research or for advisors to discuss the frontiers of their research areas. If you would like to present your research in one of these meetings, please contact Gary..."

 

We will also work together with the "MS&E frontier" program to develop the Invited Speaker talks

First Year PhD Welcome Event

We are planning a First-Year Ph.D. welcome event, probably sometime in the third week. The idea is to give first year Ph.D. students an opportunity to get to know each other
