A mini-conference for entering graduate students
The Friday-Sunday-Monday lectures will be in Hill 705.
Breakfast and Lunch (highlighted in green) will be available in the
lounge, Hill 703.
This program is presented by faculty and current graduate students to provide a
review and fill in gaps in some background expected in standard courses,
and to get an idea of the research being done by current students
for their dissertations. It is also an opportunity for new students
to meet each other and to get acquainted with some
continuing graduate students and faculty members. All entering
Ph.D. Students are strongly encouraged to attend.
Due to the potential arrival of Hurricane Irene, the activities on Sunday, August 28 have to be rescheduled.
Talks originally scheduled for August 28 have been moved to either the afternoon of Tuesday, August 30, or
to Monday, August 29; Prof. Woodward's talk on Monday, August 29 has also been moved.
