See you soon!

We are looking forward to having you at CUA next week.

If you are giving an oral presentation, you can bring your laptop or a USB drive and we will plug it in before your talk. We have 3 students volunteers, Jordan, Mike and Rafael who can help you setting up.

If you are presenting a poster, talk to anybody from the LOC, Andreza, Amy, Sandra or Duilia to arrange for that.

If you are driving to campus you will need to sign it at the registration desk for a daily pass. If you are coming for one day only, you will have to return the daily pass after you used. Please, make sure you do not forget to return that.

If you are staying on campus in one of the dorms, you will have to pay for parking at the Pryzbyla Center when you pick up your key. Each day costs $7.

We will have a small reception organized by the LOC (not catered) on Monday evening. Please, help us in any way you can.

All students will have the conference dinner paid by the workshop on Wednesday.

The group picture will be taken on Thursday before lunch.

The President of the University, Dr Garvey, will attend breakfast on Monday and participate in the opening ceremony. The Dean of Arts & Science, Dean Poos, will also be present.

We thank the School of Arts & Science and the Physics Department for the financial support for this meeting.
