Good Afternoon incoming MSPQC students!

If you are not here already, we look forward to many of you arriving in Madison over the next few weeks! As a reminder, the MSPQC new student orientation will begin two weeks from today on Monday, August 26th at 9:00am. We will meet in 4274 Chamberlin Hall, 1150 University Avenue. Please plan to arrive around 8:45am so that you have time to get settled before the program starts promptly at 9:00am.

During orientation week we will have a series of new student welcome events, professional development activities, and a chance to meet the faculty and graduate students in the quantum computing area of Physics here at UW-Madison. Attached to this email is a chart of the schedule for the week of August 26th. A more detailed schedule will be provided when you arrive and we will talk through it in more detail the first day of orientation.

Additionally, I’m also attaching a new student checklist. If you are in Madison over the next few weeks and have a bit of time, I would encourage you to begin checking some of the things off the checklist so you are ready to go when we meet in a few weeks.

Feel free to let me know if you have any questions along the way. I look forward to seeing you all in two weeks on Monday, August 26th at 9:00am for our first day of MSPQC new student orientation!

Best, Michelle
