[pl-seminar] Fwd: more info about PL open house

[JIALU BAO <jialu@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I mistakenly sent this email to a wrong mailing list last night. There are some additional info about what you could do if you couldn’t be physically present, and where’s the room. Also, second on what Loris emailed this morning, prepare a short presentation if you can. 

Thanks a lot!

Hi all,

 

Here’s the current plan for PL open house. We need people to chat with prospective students and present our research projects in room 3283. Prospective students are scheduled to meet with professors, so I think they won’t come at the same time. Loris said that there expected to be 15-20 students interested in PL this year.

 

Here are several aspects you can help with:

1. We are calling for some short presentations (3 mins – 10 mins). It could be with slides, posters, or just chat. It could be a compressed version of what you presented in other venue. There could be your future collaborators among prospective students.
2. If you’ll be around the building though not available for the presentation, still consider drop by. You can just and we will have some refreshments.
3. We will have a display of recent posters/papers/(slides). If you really won’t be available to chat, email me or hand me in person if you could share those.
4. If you are baking something (which is very appreciated), could you me know before tomorrow 9:30am how much you will bring? I will get some extra food based on that.

 

Also, 3283 is the room next to 3310 on the way to the other building.

 

Let me know any suggestions and questions.

 

Thanks,

 

Jialu

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,

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
