Lab Orientation Details 2005

Description

This year's lab orientations will be divided into two components:

1 All lab open house during first week orientation

Date: Tuesday, Sept. 6

Time: 2 pm - ~5 pm (note: BBQ in the Dempster lane will start at ~5 pm)

Description: Labs will be open for new grads (and others) to meet & mingle with other computer science students, faculty, and staff in the lab environments. The hope is that new grads. will mingle freely in and out of various labs. This is intended to be much more informal than in previous years (i.e., no talks, ppt, etc.) -- but these might be good inclusions for the individual lab sessions planned for the Fall (see below).

Our dept. occupies space in two buildings located at 2366 Main Mall. Both buildings are called ICICS/CS.

2 Individual lab sessions

A series of weekly open sessions from Oct. 2005 - Dec. 2005. The goal is to have each lab organize a ~2 hour open session where current students, faculty, and staff of the particular lab can demo & chat about their research with other students, faculty, and staff. Each lab will choose a lead person to organize the orientation for their lab (see calendar).

Calendar for Individual Lab Sessions

Instructions
  • Each lab is requested to find a lead person to organize a lab orientation.
  • This lab lead is responsible for updating this wiki with details of the lab's orientation plans, and co-ordinating high-level details with either Jordan (talis at cs ubc ca) or Colin (swindell at cs ubc ca). For example, the lab lead should ensure demos are arranged, date & time choices work for a majority of the lab, etc. For larger labs, it might be helpful to have 1 lead person and a few other students responsible for various sub-tasks.
  • Details for each orientation should be filled out in the Research Areas section.
