ACTIVITIES

Lunch with the Colloquium Speaker - Every week that we have an external colloquium speaker, the graduate students have an opportunity to take this person out to lunch. This can be a student-only event and a great chance to talk to this person in a fairly informal setting.

T-shirts - We started a new tradition recently of designing an annual Astronomy Department T-shirt.

Picnics - We have a Fall and a Spring Picnic every year. The picnic is either held at a faculty member's house or Lake Walburg.
