    Hi all,

    As you've heard numerous times already, prospective visit day is upon us
    (this Tuesday/Wednesday!), and we need to prepare a presentation for the
    group. After consulting with some of you, I would like to suggest the
    following format:

    - Each faculty (Richard, Larry, Martin, Anna, Paul, Venkat) will talk for
    about 5-10 minutes about their work in very general terms, their approach
    to advising, what they look for in a student, and what exciting things
    they can offer students to do. Basically - sell yourselves!
    This should be limited to about half the time - 40-45 minutes.

    - 3-4 current grads will make short (<10min) presentations about their
    favorite project. We probably want to talk about the theory-night work as
    well. These talks should not be overly technical; it's more important in
    my opinion to try to show what it's like to be working on the project, and
    what makes it exciting/important/fun.
    Any volunteers?

    Does that sound good? I don't think it should require too much work from
    any one person, but we should try to have a good picture of who and what
    by early Monday afternoon, so we can coordinate.

    Please respond ASAP!

    Gidon.
