PGSA Happy Hour: New Year, New Bar

We're going to the newly opened and surprisingly woody Barrelhouse 34 this Friday 1/22 at 9:00pm. So hit the gym, chew some Nicorette, delete your Clash of Clans empire, or whatever you need to bolster your (hopefully not) doomed resolution and join in!

Just a note: Barrelhouse is so new that they may not have a sign yet. If you think you've walked below-deck of an 18th century schooner, then you're in the right place!

PGSA Meeting 1/20 at 1pm

The PGSA will be having it's FIRST MEETING of the new semester this Wednesday at 1pm in the Interaction Room. We will discuss plans for the upcoming semester, including visitation weekend and a possible ice skating excursion.

If you are interested in getting more involved in the PGSA, this is a great time to start! Fresh ideas and points of view are extremely valuable!

Illinois GPS (Guidance for Physics Students)

Illinois GPS is currently seeking graduate mentors. The goal of the organization is to improve contact and collaboration between undergraduate and graduate students through activities like peer advising. No previous mentorship experience is expected, and the time commitment is fairly modest and flexible. The undergrads are looking for advice on what it’s like to be a graduate student, major research areas, the application process, etc., as well as a community that shares their interest in the physical world. You can make a big difference to them! The application can be accessed here.
