Spring Quarter Update!

April General Meeting Wednesday 4/8 and Remote Events Survey

First, we hope that all of you are making the best of these difficult times. We will not be hosting any in-person events for the foreseeable future. This includes the cancellation of LSW2020 and in-person student seminars.

However, we are still committed to our mission of bringing the photonics community together. This survey (https://forms.gle/VF9ypJNMbLMyTsBv9) contains questions on the types of remote programming you would be most interested in, please fill it out to help us engage all of you and continue to provide platforms for education and collaboration. We welcome any and all suggestions you may have!

Our April general meeting will be held via Zoom on Wednesday, April 8th at 3 pm. Meeting information can be found below. We will be discussing future remote programming, including new ways to run outreach activities

Stay safe and sane out there!
