January 17, 2012

Hi everyone!  Hope you all got to enjoy the long weekend and some of the snow.  While it's hard to know what the next few days will bring us with the weather, make sure to check the official UW website to see if campus is open.  You can also sign up to get text alerts here: http://emergency.washington.edu/  When the campus suspends operations that means there's no classes and most offices are closed.

REU Applications: Applications for summer research experiences are approaching!  You can find a listing of summer opportunities here: https://catalyst.uw.edu/workspace/sterrs/23482/146967

Undergraduate Research Symposium: Every spring the symposium is held on campus to showcase undergraduate research.  This is a great opportunity for those working on projects to share your results.  Students will often present a poster but there are oral presentations as well.  I strongly encourage anyone working on research to consider participating.  Talk with your research adviser about submitting an abstract; the deadline is February 24.  http://www.washington.edu/research/urp/

Building Permits: Don't forget, if you're in the building after hours you need to have an orange building card with you at all times.  If you have building keys I have them pre-printed for you on my desk so swing by to pick yours up today.

Colloquium: We do have a colloquium scheduled for this week barring flight cancellations due to snow.  Natalie Batalha (San Jose State Univ) will give a talk on the latest "Kepler Results".  So join us on Thursday at 4pm in PAA A102 with coffee, tea and cookies served at 3:45pm.

Page O'announcements: Some study abroad opportunities as well as some great campus events are posted: http://pageoannouncements.blogspot.com/

Have a great week,
Sarah
