April 18, 2011

Hi everyone,

Don't forget about the undergrad meeting tomorrow, Tuesday, at 4pm in Phys/Astr A216. We will discuss classes, GREs, upcoming changes to degree requirements, take a group photo and discuss anything else you want to!

Summer quarter registration: Registration opens this week for many of you. Be sure to double check the course schedules since some of the classes have been changed/removed (for Physics classes in particular) since the schedules were first released.

210 Credit Holds: Many of you received an email over the weekend regarding a hold placed on your student account because you have too many credits. If you received this email and have not already talked with me you will need to see me to fill out appropriate paperwork before you can register for autumn quarter classes.

Astro Lunch: Tuesday at Noon in B356A (aka the reading room), Adam Ritchey (UW) will give a talk on "Elemental Abundances and Isotopic Ratios from High-Resolution Observations of the Galactic Interstellar Medium." Feel free to bring your lunch to this talk!

Astrobiology Seminar: Tuesday at 2:30pm in Phys/Astr A118, Matthew Hurtgen (Northwestern Univ.) will give a talk on "The role of sulfur in regulating Earth surface oxygen levels".

Colloquium: Thursday at 4pm in Phys/Astr 102, Greg Laughlin (UC Santa Cruz) will give a talk on "Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Surveys, BOSS and BigBOSS". Join us at 3:45pm in the foyer for coffee, tea and cookies!

See you all tomorrow at the undergrad meeting!

Sarah
