Re: [pl-seminar] help with organizing PL open house during welcome weekend

Hi all,

As Zach suggested, 1:30pm-4:00pm Friday is also the time that prospective students meet with professors, so it’s probably better to stay inside CS building. I reserved room 3283 for that time. It would be great if you have time to drop by and chat, and highlight your availability 

on http://whenisgood.net/madPLjustchat so if some prospective students are particularly interested in your work, I can let them know when is the best time to find you. Thanks a lot!

Thanks,

Jialu

Hi all,

 

I’m happy to organize that. I didn’t come for PL open house last year, so it would be helpful if people let me know what open house were historically.

 

Based on my recollection of being a prospective student a year ago, I guess they would like to hear from us about research with Prof. xxx, life in the town, see students’ office, places in the town, etc. So two activities I’m thinking are probably chatting with them in our office, or going out for coffee/ice-cream and chat. Let me know if you have better ideas of activities.

 

As a start, could people select their availability for these two potential activities?

Hi all,

 

Welcome weekend for prospective graduate students is this Friday/Saturday. In previous years, I believe students organized a PL open house during Friday afternoon (1:30-4:00). Is anyone interested in organizing an open house this year? It's a good way to meet prospective graduate students and convince them to come to Wisconsin.

 

Cheers,

 

Justin
