Subject: New grad students From: Laszlo Mihaly Date: Tue, 04 Mar 2008 10:51:31 -0500 To: "pagra-l@lists.sunysb.edu" CC: "pmkoch@notes.cc.sunysb.edu" Dear Students, As you know, the admission offers are out, and prospective students will start to visit us soon. We will have the popular visiting days on March 30 and 31 (Sunday, Monday). Pat and I need volunteers for hosting the visitors. The two main tasks are: 1./ driving around and 2./ housing for guests. Accordingly, we are looking primarily for students with cars and free space in their homes. Expenses for each one are reimbursed on a per guest, per day basis. Host students are also invited free of charge to the Sunday dinner at TVI and (most likely) to the faculty dinners Monday evening. See these three links for further info: http://graduate.physics.sunysb.edu/visiting/program.html http://graduate.physics.sunysb.edu/visiting/tvi.html http://graduate.physics.sunysb.edu/visiting/host.html We also need occasional help with visitors coming at random times. Please indicate to Pat if you are available to take a student to lunch (we give you a card for free lunch at Jasmin), or to help in any other way.
