Fulbright info meeting

If you want to study in the US, you should definitely try to attend a Fulbright information session being held on Monday (28 March) at UAM. Aleksandra Augustyniak from the Polish-American Fulbright Commission in Warsaw will be in Poznań to deliver this presentation.

The Fulbright program was established by the US government about 60+ years ago and funds exchanges for students, graduates, researchers, professors, and professionals. This exchange program offers scholarships for Polish students and graduates to study in the US. It's recognized as very prestigious in the US, and the scholarship funds almost all of the costs of travel, living, and research expenses. The only catch is that you do need to apply about a year-and-a-half before you want to go. For example, for the 2012-2013 academic year (arriving in the US and beginning around Aug/Sept 2012), the application deadline is April 29, 2011.

If this is something that you are interested in, let me know! The info session is next Monday in Collegium Minus at 13:00. If you cannot make it, email me if you have questions. I'll bring extra materials next a week.

Office hours

Just a quick note on my (Liz's) office hours this week. I'm back in Poznań, so I'll have regularly scheduled hours today (Tuesday 15:15-16:15). However, I need to cancel my Wednesday hours this week. Instead, I'll hold hours on Thursday from 15:15-16:15.

So there you have it. Liz's office hours for this week (only): Tuesday AND Thursday 15:15-16:15 in 214.

Next week we'll go back to Tuesday and Wednesday.

Note about class this week (March 15, 16)

Just a quick note to remind you. We have a guest lecturer this week.

In view of that, I want to remind everyone to

- be polte (for once!)

- pay attention!

- keep gunfire to a minimum

- no fires!

Remember, horrific angry dog is watching you!

You misbehave and I'll gnaw your @$*$*@#-ing face off!
