Congratulations to James Bushong, the new Astronomy undergraduate representative.

Registration: let me know if you are having any trouble registering for spring quarter classes. Some good places to look for general courses are the advising page (http://www.washington.edu/uaa/gateway/advising/registration/sgec.php) and the general education requirement course search (http://www.washington.edu/students/timeschd/genedinq.html).
Undergrad research: Don't forget, if you are registering for Astronomy 499, undergraduate research you need to fill out a research approval form. You can pick it up from the front office. This helps us know who is doing research and on what topics.
NASA Stennis Space Center Education Job: The NASA Stennis Space Center is looking for candidates interested in a 1-year assignment as the Elementary-Secondary and eEducation Projects Coordinator. This would be great for graduating seniors to consider!
