Re: [mspqc] Delivery of Dillinger Thank-You
by MICHAEL JASON CERVIA 30 Jun '20

30 Jun '20

Hello, Unfortunately, I cannot physically get my thank-you letter for the Dillinger family to the department office before the end of today (as instructed in a letter from last month notifying me about the Dillinger award for this year). For good measure, I want to still provide my thank-you letter as a PDF attached to this email, as I am not permitted to enter Chamberlin during the pandemic. Please let me know if there is any difficulty in opening the file or anything else needed on my end. Thanks so much, Michael ________________________________ From: MICHAEL JASON CERVIA Sent: Monday, June 29, 2020 4:39 PM To: Physics Dept Info <info(a)physics.wisc.edu> Subject: Delivery of Dillinger Thank-You Hello, I wanted to ask for your help with the delivery of my thank you letter to the Dillinger family for their departmental award. Since I am not on the list of employees permitted to enter Chamberlin Hall, I cannot get my letter to the department office by tomorrow. Please let me know what might be the best way to provide my letter promptly (e.g., if I should instead send my letter digitally). Sincere thanks, Michael Cervia

Website Updates!
by Michelle Holland 29 Jun '20

29 Jun '20

Good Morning MSPQC Students, I'm excited to share with you that the graduate student section of the Department of Physics website has a new updated look and feel. We have added some new content and reorganized many things in hopes that they are more useful to you. When you navigate to the physics homepage, you will see the tab called "GRADUATE". https://wp.physics.wisc.edu/ From the GRADUATE menu on the homepage, the website is broken down by prospective students, Ph.D. current students, and MSPQC current students. Please take a look around the new website and let me know if you have any questions, comments, or feedback. As always, feel free to let me know if you have any questions along the way. I hope that you are all enjoying the warm and humid weather this week, wherever you are! Best, Michelle Michelle R.Z.
