What great weather we've been having! Hard to be indoors! Lots of announcements and important information in this week's email so read on! Last week's undergrad meeting notes can be found here: http://astroemails.blogspot.
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/
Integrated Sciences needs your help:
Dear science student,
A group of faculty at the University of Washington has been developing a new Integrated Sciences undergraduate degree, designed in part to meet the needs of students interested in secondary school science teaching, museum education, science writing, science policy, or professional careers with a science or technology orientation.
We would like to learn whether such a program would have interested you if it were available when you chose your major, and so we are writing to ask you to participate in a short survey, which you can find at
https://catalyst.uw.edu/webq/
The survey consists of 8 questions. It may take as little as two to three minutes to complete, or perhaps as long as five or six, depending on whether you provide an answer to the open-ended question at the end. We welcome your response either way. We very much value any advice you can give us and hope you are able to complete this survey.
Sincerely,
Ron Irving
Director, Integrated Sciences Program
Professor of Mathematics
University of Washington
