Dear MSPQC Students:

I have received a couple comments about noise-level on the 4th floor coming from the MSPQC workspace. Although the workspace is not a silent study space, but collaborative and you are welcome and encouraged to talk and work together, I want to remind you to be conscientious of how loud you might be getting and the possibility that it may disrupt another's work. Please be mindful that there are other offices and workspaces on the 4th floor and some folx may need more quiet in order to complete their work than others. If you are working or talking in groups, I ask that you please close the door so a lot of sound doesn't travel into the hallway and other workspaces/offices.

I also know that the World Cup has been very exciting-this may be leading to a bit more loud conversation than is typical in the MSPQC workspace. You may already know this, but you can always go watch games in Memorial Union or Union South at the Sett on large screens together. I encourage you to use those spaces as you will be able to watch matches with plenty of other fans.

I don't expect this to be a recurring issue, but thought it would be appropriate to reach out at this point because of the comments I have received. Please reach out to me with any questions or concerns.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

All Best,

Elizabeth Hart-Baldridge, M.S. Ed. Graduate Program Manager Master of Science in Physics-Quantum Computing Programhttps://www.physics.wisc.edu/graduate/mspqc-prospective-students/ Department of Physics University of Wisconsin-Madison
