Colleagues,

With apologies for the delay – please see last week’s CatChronicle below and linked here: https://conta.cc/3BFpnyN.

Additional opportunities to promote to your students this week:

  *   Engineers Week (February 21-25): https://engr-advising.ucmerced.edu/about/student-organizations-vanguard/engineers-week-2022
  *   Abstracts for Research Week 2022: Research Showcase are due on March 2, 2022. Submission information can be found here<https://ucmerced.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bHhyfWO0xSe6erA>.
     *   All UC Merced students (undergraduate and graduate students) are encouraged to participate in the Research Week Showcase to present their research conducted at the institution to the broader campus and local community. Campus research groups, postdocs, and faculty PIs are also encouraged to highlight their work during the event to promote research and to attract new undergraduate students to their projects.

Have a great week!
Alisha

Student Success Tip

Have you found other students in each of your classes to study with? Now is the time to reach out to others in your classes, labs and discussions to set-up your support system ahead of upcoming mid-terms. Be sure to agree on a regular time, place to meet and what you each want to accomplish. There are lots of resources on how to set up successful groups – like this one <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001JChYS0rgZblgaVep_9nt1DjpF_9fRmU4ISHZQpLB3HkptJvdnYN6J9Ycy3KIR0fjQdGyRUEVWk5dGZ7YgPHYSujcwB2BTUKX8zKajUEXmkPgLwK5rYTXnilkLtVmhFXUBzwhVdhrbfrbJ8TCtX70GfXrmRTOKszvYSYPMIsvyhw-GpupUcPAfw==&c=vhdb0L2aEngtPnnLGPMGmaPh2KUrRr9CPkN3PM_bnOkQpzuwyYxjJQ==&ch=wOqDwjg76Hs3ksZtXWmuO78rYBM2CAd_ebysTBmhUAPUbbRb1pvC2g==> from UBC.
