  2. Welcome!

  3. What are we doing here? Introductions • Preparation and recruiting for research internships and graduate school • Exposure to research projects • Interdisciplinary work experience • Learn a few things

  4. Staff Introductions • Nancy Griffeth: professor of computer science at Lehman College • Flavio Fenton: professor of physics at Georgia Tech • AronWolinetz: PhD student in computer science at the Graduate Center • Rachel Spratt: Math major at Lehman, attended last year’s workshop • Daniel Packard: QuBi program at Hunter, attended last year’s workshop • Charles Beard: CS major at Lehman

  5. Visiting Lecturers • Liesl Jones, chair of biologyat Lehman • Robert Gilmour, professorof physiology at Cornell • Bard Ermentrout, professor of math at Pittsburgh
