Spring Term - Week 3

Despite this weekend’s snow, it looks like spring is really here! Those of you interested in the spring migration patterns of our local bird friends should check out tomorrow’s Magic of Migration Hike, hosted by Outdoor Programs. This is a great time to see the return of NH’s warm-weather avians and the first flush of our local flora!

It’s also Student Employee Appreciation Week! A celebration to honor the work and dedication of student employees—many of whom are in our WISP community—will be held from 3-5PM tomorrow, April 15, in the Russo Atrium of the Hood Museum of Art.

Pre-Symposium Mixer

May 14, 5:30-7:30PM, ECSC South Atrium

We know public speaking can be stressful. Why not practice what you’re going to say at the poster session with us? Hosted by Undergraduate Research, this mixer will allow you to meet other presenters, see some examples of good and less-than-ideal posters (courtesy of our graduate friends), and—if you want—practice your poster “pitch.” No visual aids necessary, so your poster doesn’t need to be complete! Get practice and peer feedback in a comfortable setting.

And we’ll have mocktails and snacks!
