Hi, everyone.

I hope you enjoyed Dr. Gilbert's talk and presentation. He did a great job, and I want to thank Daniel for coordinating the event.

Each of you who were present when Dr. Gilbert talked to INSPIRED/STAIRSTEP students in the lab before his talk must write a brief description of this event, post it to your wiki and email a copy to Daniel, who was coordinator for Dr. Gilbert's visit. Each of you who were present for Dr. Gilbert's talk must write a brief description of the event, post it to your wike and email a copy to Daniel. Please do this by Wednesday Sept 30.

Daniel, please compile all the reports in one document and add your own report at the beginning. I believe that some Physics STAIRSTEP students attended the talk. Please add their reports to the document as well. We need to include in the report the number of INSPIRED/STAIRSTEP students who participated and an estimate of the number of undergraduates and the number of graduate students who participated. Please collect the pictures taken of the events in a folder and select the 5 best pictures and add them to the report. Please store the folder of pictures from this event in the folder of pictures on the server. Please do this by Friday Oct. 2

Thanks very much.

The 'People' link on the website needs to be updated. INSPIRED students who have graduated should be moved to an 'alumni' section. Newbies need to have brief bios. New pictures needed to be added (Brian Sattler took pictures of everyone in spring). Faculty bios may need updating; for instance, I have now published over 40 papers. Please work with Dr. Liu on updating this. Here is the link:

Hi, KC.

I'm attaching several pdf files. Please print 25 to 50 copies of each of these and bring them to the STAIRSTEP New Student Orientation tomorrow afternoon (any time after 12:00). I expect to receive an email message from Joseph Cantu in Student Affairs with info on where the STAIRSTEP table will be located and will email you with the info. Please put these files in a folder called 'handouts' so that we will have access to them for future outreach events.

If you need help with the printer ask a teammate. If there is not enough paper please have Dr. Liu sign a form to purchase more and take it to the supply center. Please let me know when this is done. If you have any questions please let me know. If you encounter no problems we don't need to meet today.

Dr. Liu, please check with KC this afternoon on this.

Thanks very much.

Hi, everyone.

At our last meeting we asked that each of you who has responsibility for a session in the summer academies prepare a draft of several questions to ask the kids to test how much they learned in your session. Please submit your draft to the appropriate academy leader (Rafael or Kelli) by Tuesday. Rafael and Kelli, please email the set of questions to Dr. Liu and me by Wednesday.

Next Friday we will be completing the evaluation questionnaires for the end of this semester. It's very important that all of you be present to complete the questionnaires. These are needed in order for Dr. Mann to complete the evaluation of the INSPIRED Program.

Next Friday we'll also have the second training session on the IntelliBrain lessons for the high school academy.
