A message from the advising team:
We wanted to send out a message notifying you of an opportunity in Week 8 to network more with your peers in the department. If you recall from the fall quarter, we organized the Flipgrid activity and appreciated your participation in that! Thank you to all the students who submitted a video. We enjoyed meeting you that way and hope you had fun learning about your classmates.
For those of you who didn’t make a video but would still like to participate, please feel free! We’ve attached the instructions to the end of this email.
For this winter quarter, the advising staff, with the help of some graduate students, are facilitating another networking opportunity, but this time “in-person” (a.k.a. on Zoom). This event will give you the chance to talk more about your Flipgrid videos with a small group of your classmates, as well as more generally to get to know each other better (learn who’s in your concentration, form study groups, etc.).
We’ve created three sessions to try to accommodate as many students’ schedules as possible; each time slot represents the same one-hour event. The dates and times are listed below.
If you’re interested in attending one of these times, please RSVP by Sunday, February 21st using this form. Please let us know of any questions.
