How many can you go to in one night? (ie I assume they are one hour blocks like last time? so 7-9 you can go to two?)

#3

awesome, this looks like a great way to understand a topic better. I will definatly go to at least two!

#4

Since its at RIT, several of my team mates and I will go. Espically since its close by.

#5

Only if i had a lot of money for gas. i would go to just about every night.

#6

i,m in for Mechanical, Manipulators or Strategy Fund raising

#7

sweet I’ll be there if i can. I’ll bring along the rookies in 340 as well.

#8

Don’t forget, the first round of these seminars is this thursday. I hope to see you all there.

#9

Do you have exact locations yet?

#10

Cool sounds like some sweet seminars. I will probably make it to 1 of them.

#11

They are going to be on the second floor of the engineering building (9) I am not sure of the exact rooms yet, but there will be posted signs and people showing you where to go.

#12

Due to a conflict in scheduling rooms for the seminars, all of the seminars have been moved and will take place from 8-9:30 rather than the previously announced time. The seminars will be taking place in building 9, the Kate Gleason College of Engineering building. For those that haven’t been here before i’ve attached a campus map with the engineering building highlighted in orange. Directions on how to get to campus can be found at http://inside.rit.edu/maps/

What’s the answer to Kim’s post? I would like to go to two of them but they are on the same night.

#14

I don’t have the answer to that anymore. When we had 2 hours to do them, we were surely going to run them twice per night, now that the time is limited I am not sure what the goal is. Most if not all of our presentations will be availalbe online after the seminars.

#15

Just a last minute reminder that the second set of seminars is happening tonight, so if you are sitting by your computer reading this head on over to RIT they start in an hour.
