Dear New EAS Graduate Students:
We are super excited to welcome you to our Division! We want your experience in EAS to be a happy and productive one, in terms of both academics and social interaction. We hope that you will make friends of classmates and lab mates and build healthy professional and personal relationships during your time in EAS and at Caltech. To that end, a group of EAS grad students is putting on a small discussion group activity this week for all of you called Respect is a Part of Research. In this activity, these student facilitators will divide you into groups of 10 on Zoom and discuss for 35-40 minutes a few fictitious (but realistic/inspired by true stories) and challenging scenarios involving issues of equitable treatment of others. In discussing these scenarios in small groups, you can get to know your facilitators as a resource, connect with fellow G1s, and learn to navigate successfully issues that can arise in your work and social spaces at Caltech. The activity will take place Thursday, October 7, 3:00-4:00pm. Division Chair Harry Atwater, as well as Professors Beverley McKeon and Melany Hunt are excited about this event and strongly encourage your participation. Here is a zoom link!
