Dear MSPQC Students:

I am reaching out to you with information about a couple of upcoming events and important dates to put on your calendars:

1. MSPQC Spring 2024 Mid-Semester Lunch

When: Wednesday, March 13 @ 11:15 AM - 12:15 PM

Where: 5280 Chamberlin Hall

Who: MSPQC students, faculty, and staff.

What: This is a drop-in event. Please come and go as you need during this time to chat with peers, connect with faculty/staff, and enjoy lunch!

1. 2024 MSPQC Graduation Ceremony

When: Friday, August 9 @ 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM

Where: in the DeLuca Forum room within the Discovery Building (330 N Orchard St, Madison, WI 53715).

Who: All MSPQC students graduating in Spring 2024, Summer 2024, or Fall 2024 (and potentially Spring 2025 if you want to attend early/may not be here in Summer 2025 for the next event). Other MSPQC students are welcome to attend but not participate to support their peers. MSPQC Faculty and staff. Guests/family/friends of MSPQC graduates.

What: Business-casual to formal event to celebrate 2024 MSPQC graduates! Check-in, 1-hr ceremony, and reception following the ceremony with refreshments provided.

Details: Students will be asked to rent a master's gown from UW bookstore. Details about attire and a formal event RSVP will follow this save-the-date in late May/early June.

As always, please reach out with any questions. I believe the MSPQC newsletter had the incorrect date for graduation. The graduation event is on Friday, August 9, so please mark this as the correct date.

Kind Regards,

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
