I just wanted to confirm at what time you're planning to get here on Wednesday? We'll meet you at the Physics parking lot entrance. Also, are you planning to come directly to the department or fist check in at the hotel and then come here? My mobile number is 248-225-2147 and Dr. Bonvicini's phone numbers are 734-272-1383 (mobile) and 313-577-1444 (office) in case you need to contact us. I also wanted to give you some more details on the visit including meals. Since your sister will be accompanying you, she's most welcome to join us for all the events and lunch and dinners. 1. The special session on Wednesday will be a ~15 minute presentation as we discussed, followed by a Q&A session. Then all the female students/faculty will join you for dinner at a nearby restaurant (La Pita on Cass Ave.) 2. It would be great if you can arrive at the department by ~9:30-9:45 am on Thursday morning (Breakfast is provided by the hotel). After the student talks (10am - noon), we'll break for lunch and walk to Traffic Jam & Snug (W Canfield/2nd Ave) for lunch - Dr. Wadehra, Dr. Mukhopadhyay and Dr. Bonvicini will also accompany us. 3. During the poster session (1:30 - 3:30pm) you and two faculty judges (Dr. Wadehra and Dr. Gil Paz) will be interviewing the poster presenters to select best poster(s). The judging criteria is based on a) Poster organization, clarity and readability b) Oral explanation - it is crucial that students understand their own work, and c) Impact of this work on the field. You're free to set up a scoring system on your preference based on this criteria. 4. After your talk and round table discussion, Pizza dinner will be served around 5 pm. Please let me know if you need any other information. Looking forward to meeting you, Akila
