Group Meeting Schedule - Jan '09 - Present

All meetings are in TH S 307 (the lab). For Summer 2009, we met Fridays from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm. For Fall 2009, we will select the time at the first meeting. That first meeting will be from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm. If you like, you can bring a small brown bag lunch and eat quietly during the meeting.
