Construction In Room 4254 on Monday, 9/27
by JACKSON CONAN KENNEDY 06 Dec '21

06 Dec '21

Hello MSPQC Students! On Monday, 9/27, we will have workers in 4254 adding more desks to the ends of the room. In case this is bothersome/distracting to you, I have reserved room 4274 for the entire day for you to use as your temporary office. The construction should only last one day and no existing furniture should be moved. If you put any of your belongings at either end of the room, consider moving it out of the way so the crew will be able to assemble the furniture without delay. After the new desks are installed, you are welcome to change which desk is yours and to claim one of the new ones. Please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any questions! Thank you! On Wisconsin!

13 Oct '21

Hello MSPQC Students and Faculty! I hope your semesters are going smoothly! I'm writing to announce that the MSPQC program would like to host a catered mid-semester check-in lunch for students and faculty. I know classes can be a lot of work, so I'd like to offer this opportunity for students to connect with each other and with faculty in a less formal setting than a classroom. I will have a (very short) presentation to start with at the beginning of the lunch hour and then the rest of the time will be yours! In order to schedule this lunch, please complete the following doodle poll by Friday, October 15th: https://doodle.com/poll/6ekvwb4s9kifyd5r?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link Participation is not required, but I will try to select a time that works for the most people. Please let me know if you have any dietary restrictions. Thank you and please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any questions! On Wisconsin!
