Subject: Let's talk computing!
Hello all,
I'm writing as the executive director of Harvard's Institute for Applied
Computational Science. IACS is a new organization launched by SEAS. We're dedicated
to building a curriculum and a community at Harvard focused on computational science and
engineering.
I'd like to invite all undergraduates doing computational summer projects to some
informal gatherings to talk about computing. We experimented with this a couple of summers
ago, and everyone enjoyed the chance to share their summer projects with other students
interested in computational approaches and also to meet mentors--grad students and
postdocs from other groups. You might find a hacker in another lab who can help you with a
troublesome chunk of code!
I'd like to plan three Friday lunch get-togethers, as follows:
July 6: Getting acquainted. Just a chance to go around the table and share what
you're working on.
July 20: (1) Thinking about grad school and careers; a short info session on
Harvard's new graduate program in computational science and engineering; (2) some
short project presentations.
July 27: More short project presentations
Each confab will start at noon on Friday in Cruft Lab 403, the IACS conference room.
We'll order pizza and subs and drinks. So that we can have enough food and get
reminders out to you, please RSVP and let me know which dates you can attend. (Also let me
know of any dietary restrictions.)
We'll send an invitation to a broader group, and you should feel free to forward it.
I look forward to seeing you on the 6th!
Ros
