[phas-dept] Call for meeting this week's colloquium speaker

[Kurtis Williams]

Any grad or undergrad students are especially encouraged to schedule meeting times to talk about research, life in astronomy, grad school life, etc.

In particular, I suggest the following ideas in priority order; please contact me if you are willing to participate in one or more:

* A meeting with the SPS to chat at the regular 3pm time
* A couple of grad students to join us for dinner (please talk to Alex Spahn to draw lots)
* Anyone for ~30 min meetings at other times; please let me know what works timewise

Thanks!

KAW
