PHYSICS GRADUATE PROGRAMS SURVEY BY THE COMMITTEE ON THE STATUS OF WOMEN IN PHYSICS


New students should check "Information for incoming students" and be sure to arrive in San Francisco well before classes start.

Returning students who did not have an advising appointment at the end of the preceding semester should make an appointment to meet me with prior to the first day of classes.   To enroll in a graduate class, your name must appear on the list of students advised to take that course.

 There will be a GTA meeting for new and continuing TAs at the beginning of each semester.

During the summer and Christmas breaks, you can reach me via e-mail. I will be happy to hear from you.

Course offerings:

Spring 2006

Fall 2006
