Undergraduate Orientation

Sunday, 6:00-7:00pm, May 29, 2005, Hilton, Salon E

Undergraduate students, their advisors and those interested in attracting undergraduate students to their graduate program, or undergraduate research opportunity are invited to attend this event. The Chair of the Astronomy Education Board will explain how to get the most benefit from an AAS meeting and outline how the meeting works. The leadership of the AAS will also be in attendance to answer questions and get to know the undergraduate attendees. Tickets are required and are available free of charge to all undergrads, their advisors and those offering research opportunities (or jobs) to undergraduates, through the meeting registration form and will be placed in their registration envelope. Light snacks and refreshments will be provided. Organizations hoping to recruit undergraduate students may reserve poster display space for a small fee. Contact Susana Deustua, Director of Educational Activities (deustua@aas.org), for further details.
