Welcome back to the returning to students and hello to our new Astronomy majors! Paula and I hope that you all had an enjoyable summer and are looking forward to hearing about your experiences. You are always welcome to stop in to see us either to say hello or ask questions.
Here are some important things to keep in mind this week:
* Palen Radio Observatory: Did you know that there is a radio observatory just for undergrads on campus? Would you like to know more about radio telescopes and work on a project? More info on PRO here: http://www.astro.washington.edu/undergrad/radioastro/. We are currently looking for students interested in working with our radio observatory. Please contact Frank Garcia (frankgarcia@gmail.com) if you want to know more.
* Building Permits: If you have Physics/Astronomy building keys please stop by the front office (C319) to pick up your building permit. Building permits are required if you have keys and must be with you any time you are in the building after hours and weekends.
* Research forms: Those taking ASTR 499 independent research should stop by the front office and pick up a research credit approval form. This helps us know what kind of projects are being worked on, who you are working with and for how many credits. Your research adviser must sign it to approve your project and how many credits you are working for.
* Graduation Applications: students planning to graduate this year need to apply to graduate soon. Please stop in to see me to fill out graduation paperwork. If you are graduating this autumn, you must submit paperwork no later than October 10.
* Undergrad Meeting: we will hold our quarterly undergraduate meeting in a few weeks and will let you know more details soon.
* Page O'Announcements: The Page O'Announcements has listings for tons of campus events, jobs, special courses and funding/scholarships. This page is always updated so take a look. http://pageoannouncements.blogspot.com/
Hope you have a great start to the fall quarter.
Best,
Sarah
