Break- 11:30am – 12:00pm
Group Picture– 12:00pm –12:30pm (Terrace of Willard Straight Hall)
Lunch- 12:30pm – 2:00pm (Memorial Room, Willard Straight Hall)
Poster Session- 2:30pm – 4:00pm (Atrium of Corson-Mudd)
(The boards will be up in the morning on Friday if scholars want to put their posters up beginning at 10:30am.)
A note about the lunch: We will provide each scholar with a lunch ticket for entrance to the lunch. Additionally, each scholar will have up to 2 lunch tickets to invite their faculty member and one additional guest to join us too. The maximum capacity is 150 pp. Tickets are available in my office. Please come see me by Thursday.
A note about participation on Friday: We hope that scholars will support their fellow scholars and attend as many presentations as they can. It is very important that we be on time for the group photo on the terrace, as our photographer will likely be running between two events that day. Additionally, please be sure to invite your lab mates to the talks or poster sessions too.
Check #4 will be AVAILABLE this week by Thursday, July 31st. In exchange for your $$, scholars will need to submit three things:
#1 Complete a program evaluation (coming electronically tomorrow afternoon),
# 2 submit an online HHMI summer evaluation (link coming from Laurel) and finally and most importantly
#3 a 2-3 page progress report on their Hughes research. In the report, you should describe briefly what your project was this summer, highlight what went well, and what didn’t and the future direction of the project.
One last note: This summer has been one of the best yet! You Hughesies were a fantastic cohort this year. I hope you made some new friends, and enjoyed yourselves over these past nine weeks. We have a saying in the program: “Once a Hughesie, always a Hughesie”. Your family now. Please keep in touch after the summer, we always love to hear what you are up to. Finally, if there is ever anything we can do to help, please don’t hesitate to ask.
See you soon!
Pam
