The first smackdown of the year will be held from 2-3 PM on September 24 in the Large Conference Room (LEF 2165E). All grad students are encouraged to attend, but this smackdown will be mostly geared towards second/third years who are in the middle stages of their masters theses. First years are especially encouraged to attend to listen in and learn more about the masters thesis process. We’ll make sure that there’s time for a general Q&A / chit chat about this process as well.
If you’re a second/third year who thinks they’d like to present their ideas to the group for some smackin, please let Jordan and Lydia know through the email chain so that they can put you on the schedule. People who let us know in advance that they want to chat about their ideas will be given priority at the Smackdown, but if there is extra time, we’ll open the floor to others.
