November 8, 2010

You are all encouraged to attend the undergraduate meeting today at 4pm in the reading room (Phys/Astr B356A). We will discuss classes, post-graduation plans, research and more! Those of you that participated in an REU this summer please attend and share your experiences with us. Snacks will be provided!

Winter quarter registration: Registration for winter quarter has started for many of you. Please let me know if you have questions about classes you should be taking. Note that ASTR 300: Astronomy Computing is open only to Astronomy majors during Period 1 registration (now - Nov. 28). Starting Nov. 29 any remaining seats will be given to non-Astronomy students requesting permission. If for some reason you are unable to register for the course before Nov. 29 but still want a seat, please contact Dr. Toby Smith (smith@astro.washington.edu).
