The quarter is well underway and here are some things to think about this week.

Undergrad Meeting: Tomorrow at 3pm in Phys/Astr A216 we will have our quarterly undergraduate meeting. Come to meet the chair of our department, hear about classes, the radio observatory and meeting with grad students. We will also be taking the annual undergrad photo. Plus free food!

If you can't make it, I will send out a recap next week so you know what we discussed.
