Below are the planned series of events being hosted by our student chapter of AVS at the University of Minnesota. Please feel free to reach out to the club officers if you have any questions or inquiries regarding these events.
Seagate has agreed to organize a tour of their technical R&D facilities for current graduate students at UMN. The tour is currently being scheduled for late November, sign ups will be posted on this page and emailed to the CHEM/CEMS student listhosts once the details are confirmed.
We will be having a guest speaker to discuss research involving vacuum related technologies. Special emphasis will be placed on how to start a research career and how undergraduate and graduate students can get involved. Dinner will be served!
We will be continuing our yearly tradition of cookie decorating as a place to destress while preparing for final exams. Cookies along with a variety of icing decorations will be provided, and we will be screening a winter movie to set the mood. Come destress with AVS!
Our first meeting of the year is scheduled for Thursday, October 12th at 6:00 PM. Join us for a discussion about what the club does, our upcoming lecture series and outreach events, planned industry networking, and a screening of the cult classic Spaceballs (1987). Raising Cane's will be served.
One of the best ways to advertise our club to fellow UMN students is by painting a panel on the Washington Avenue Bridge. Join us for a morning of artistic exploration when we paint some vacuums and an AVS logo to promote the group.
