April 4 | The University of Arizona College of Optical Sciences Newsletter
Announcements
Attention, Science Fiction Fans
The UA College of Humanities is hosting a special event featuring science fiction author Kim Stanley Robinson at the Poetry Center tomorrow, and they'd love to see some representation from the College of Optical Sciences.
Group Portrait Next Week
So put on your Wednesday best! (That may or may not include a Hawaiian shirt, 3-D glasses or festive party hat.)
On April 10, at 11:30 a.m., we'll all meet for OSC's most stalwart tradition, the annual group photo. This year, we'll gather on the south side of the building between the west and central wings, just outside the exit closest to the parking lot and Cherry Avenue Garage. The sun will be shining down directly into our smiling faces, so do feel free to bring a pair of sunglasses — we don't want you squinting up at the camera.

Update on "A Note Regarding Next Week's Issue"
Last week, Watts Up! announced the possibility of a hiatus due to the editor's April 2 jury summons. Her service was postponed for a week and now falls on Tuesday, April 9.
The previous message remains the same: If she is out of the office for an extended period of time, the newsletter's publication will be suspended until her return, and subscribers will be notified of the hiatus by email.
