The first remote dissertation defenses are here at JILA on January 29th between 11:30 and 12:30 virtually. These dissertations are designed for doctoral and masters students, as well as their faculty advisors. This workshop, presented by Leslie E. Blood, Director of the Graduate Community and Professional Development, will provide useful information to ensure a successful defense, specifically for remote thesis defenses.
You can register for this session to receive the Zoom link. This session will be repeated on April 22nd.
The Physics Frontiers Centers (PFC) program supports university-based centers and institutes where the collective efforts of a larger group of individuals can enable transformational advances in the most promising research areas. The program is designed to foster major breakthroughs at the intellectual frontiers of physics by providing needed resources such as combinations of talents, skills, disciplines, and/or specialized infrastructure, not usually available to individual investigators or small groups, in an environment in which the collective efforts of the larger group can be shown to be seminal to promoting significant progress in the science and the education of students. PFCs also include creative, substantive activities aimed at enhancing education, broadening participation of traditionally underrepresented groups, and outreach to the scientific community and general public.
