Good Morning Physics Grad Students, (CC Physics Faculty)

As you may be aware, Chancellor Blank issued a statement regarding the July 6th guidance from the Student and Exchange and Visitor Program (SEVP) regarding F-1 international student enrollment for Fall 2020.  International Student Services (ISS) has also issued an update about what they know at this time.  There is also an ISS information session for international students on Thursday, July 9th from 8-9am.  I hope you will consider joining this session to get the most updated information directly from ISS.

-Updated Guidance for F-1 Enrollment: https://www.ice.gov/doclib/sevis/pdf/bcm2007-01.pdf
-Chancellor's Statement: https://news.wisc.edu/chancellor-blank-statement-on-new-ice-rule/
https://iss.wisc.edu/fall-2020-sevp-update/
-Information Session for International Students: https://iss.wisc.edu/event/town-hall-meeting-on-fall-instruction-for-international-students-2/

Please know the Department of Physics is carefully monitoring the situation and will share further details with you as they become available.  International students are a vital part of community in physics at UW and we are carefully considering the impact this will have on all incoming and current students in our graduate programs.  We are here to support you in this stressful time and we will navigate this together.  Feel free to request an individual meeting with me at any time to talk about this or any other concerns.

Best,
Michelle

Hello MSPQC,
I tried to send this message to you all this morning but for some reason it sent one from last fall.  Please disregard that one, and pay attention to the one below instead.
Thanks!
Michelle

Thank you all for your patience and understanding during this difficult time!
Best,
Michelle

Hi MSPQC students,
In planning for our virtual graduation celebration for August 7th, 2020, we are looking into the possibility of caps and gowns for you all.  Can you please respond directly to me ASAP with your height and weight for gown sizing purposes?  This information will be kept confidential of course!
Thank you,
Michelle

Hello MSPQC Students,

Graduation is around the corner for many of you and we wanted to share some updated information.  The virtual graduation invitation is attached to this email for you to share with family and friends.  The website contains all of the updated information as well.  https://www.physics.wisc.edu/graduate/mspqc-current-students/mspqc-graduation-2020/

In order to prepare for the graduation celebration, please fill out this brief survey by Friday, July 24th.  https://uwmadison.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0DjKUYWLoRBg2Ox  Your timely response is critical to getting the graduation cap and gown mailed directly to you in time for the ceremony.  There is no cost to you for the cap and gown-the program will cover this cost for all of our graduates.  All of the other information should be straight forward and easy to answer.

Let me know if you have any questions along the way!

Best,
Michelle

Hello MSPQC students,
If you are graduating this summer, I wanted to touch base with you about your office space in 4274 Chamberlin.  Is it cleaned out or do any of you still have personal belongings in your office or desk?  If you are still in Madison, I am happy to retrieve any items for you and deliver them to you.  If you are not in Madison, we can work together to figure out a way to get your items back to you.  I would appreciate your response either way to this email so that we are sure you have everything you need.
Also, for those finishing up after summer 2020, we will need your office and desk keys returned.  Please mail them back to my attention in Chamberlin Hall.  I've included the mailing address in my email signature below.  Feng & Reid, you are welcome to keep your belongings in the office (and your keys) as you will have the same desk this fall as I know you will be continuing in the MSPQC program this fall.  We are working on logistics now to get the new incoming students assigned desk spaces in 4274 Chamberlin with you.
If you have any questions feel free to let me know.
Thanks!
Michelle
