<p class="MsoNormal">Dear All,<br></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal">This quarter Teri and I will be organizing lunch bunch and
we wanted to point out some things. First and foremost, we are trying a
different format this quarter. Specifically, we are trying to include
some 'professional development' type talks (giving a good talk, funding, paths
in academia), a few usual seminar style talks and a couple seminars with
several short talks by faculty on a single topic but from each of their
different research perspectives. We are also trying to get more involvement
from the department.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Second, we hope that these topics will be of interest to you
and that you will help support this effort by attending regularly.<span style=""> </span>We, as graduate students, are being given a
chance to have more “say” on the organization of the lunch bunch seminars.<span style=""> </span>In order to make this a success and hand this
opportunity down to future graduate students, we really need your
participation.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Lastly, we wanted to remind you that the first lunch bunch
meeting of the year will be this Friday, October 1<sup>st</sup> (TODAY).<span style=""> </span>As usual, the BGSA meeting, will replace the
regular lunch bunch meeting .<span style=""> </span>Lunch
bunch seminars will begin on Friday, October 8, 2010.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for your time and support,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sincerely,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
