DIRECT-STEM Multi-Disciplinary Research Seminar
Hands-on Testing on Regional Climate Models | King Hall D4046 on Friday, April 8th @ 10:30-1:30 p.m. (Lunch will be provided)
Jointly developed by NASA/JPL and UCLA/JIFRESSE, the Regional Climate Modeling Evaluation System (RCMES) is a comprehensive suite of software resources that facilitates systematic evaluation of climate models. One great part of this is that you can produce publishable quality graphing products for your research without need to write codes. JPL scientists, Drs. Huikyo Lee and Brian Wilson will be running the workshop and introduce RCMES and its software architecture. Participants will be instructed on how to install, run, and evaluate climate models using RCMES. Attendees will have access to campus computers for this workshop but are welcome to bring their own PC/Mac laptop.
Please RSVP by emailing

We are gathering information for our Spring edition of InSights magazine, our alumni publication. As we did last Spring, we'll include a page of faculty publications and presentations, those that have occurred since the last issue or during the last year. If you're not sure whether you included something, you can check on online version of the magazine
here.
Please email your entries to Dean Allen.
If you have not had the opportunity to take a professional head shot with our campus photographer Emilio Flores, please contact him at your earliest convenience to schedule an appointment to do so. Revised online and printed photo directories and varied projects in production will access these photos and we don't want to miss anyone.
Faculty advisors remember to encourage Student Advising for Successful Graduation! Review academic progress and identify the resources that may be of the greatest benefit for the students academic career.
Honors Convocation: Friday, April 29, 2016 | 6:00pm @ University Gym
Commencement: Friday, June 10, 2016 | 1:00pm @ University Athletics Stadium
