We are pleased to announce the SIAM Visiting Lecturer Program (sponsored by the S-COAM program and the Mathematics Department) on
September 26, 2012.  
 
The speaker, Dr. Sara Del Valle, is a scientist/project leader in the Los Alamos National Laboratory Energy and Infrastructure Analysis Group. She has worked on developing and analyzing mathematical models for the spread of infectious diseases, including smallpox, anthrax, malaria, HIV, and influenza, on a pandemic scale. She has also worked on social network analyses and modeling and simulation of large scale, agent-based simulations.

• leadership opportunities
• access to resources compiled by the Pre-Law Society
• information about law school and law-related careers
• a place to meet other students with interests similar to yours
• a chance to visit law school in the area

The first of ten Wednesday Freshman Workshops will run from 11am to 12 pm in the Great Hall tomorrow. The rationale for this program is simple, "What should you know in your first semester about CHC and IUP to use college well over the next four years?"

Each workshop and the assignment that grows out of it will count for 3 service hours. Attending all sessions and assignments will equal 30 community service hours this semester, half of what is required.

Tomorrow's session is an overview of the CHC Social Service program. Though social service is required of all who receive a CHC or IUP scholarship, it is essential for every student to commit to something larger than themselves in college. This program will acquaint you with all the resources to find sustained meaningful service at IUP and in the Indiana community.

You can access the fall schedule for the workshops at http://www.iup.edu/honors/page.aspx?id=96931.

An overview of tomorrow's session can be found at http://www.iup.edu/honors/page.aspx?id=113321.

I realize some of you will not be able to attend due to a science lab, ROTC or a music practice. Please let me know if you cannot make it tomorrow due to a permanent schedule conflict on Wednesdays and I'll schedule a meeting to discuss how to proceed.

Let me know if you have questions.
