January 25, 2011

Thank you to all of you that attended the 10 year review committee meeting yesterday afternoon. I hope that you were able to share your experiences and let the committee see what being an Astronomy undergrad at UW is like. A big thank you once again!

Green Career Fair: Are you looking for a job after graduation? Check out the Green Career Fair tomorrow - Jan. 26! 10am-2pm in Mary Gates Commons. There will be a large number of employers with "green" values in attendance. Bring your resume!

Spring Course Schedule: The spring course schedule should be available on the web this Friday or at the latest on Monday. Be sure to check your degree audit (DARS) on MyUW to know which classes you need to register for in the spring. I'm available to meet with anyone that needs help figuring out their classes.

Computer lab reminder: Just a quick nearly-mid-quarter reminder to please keep the astro computer lab clean. With a common space it is sometimes difficult to keep clean, but please try to pick up after yourself and avoid eating at the computers. Also, remember that the lab is not a secure place to leave personal property unattended.

Colloquium: This Thursday at 4pm in Phys/Astr A102, Meredith Hughes (UC Berkeley) will give a talk on "Millimeter-Wavelength Observations of Circumstellar Disks, and What They Can Tell Us About Planets". Join us in the foyer for coffee, tea and cookies.

Page O'Announcements: Don't forget to check out the Page O'Announcements! http://pageoannouncements.blogspot.com/ You will find campus events, scholarships, jobs and more on the page. Be sure to browse through the links on the right side of the page that are more Astronomy-specific.

Have a great week!

Best,
Sarah
