Jonas heard about this event from a friend at FSU and shared it at the meeting on Thursday. Rather than include it with the internship info, I think it deserves more attention than that.

The big opportunity is Wednesday, September 25.
Sir Harold Kroto, winner of the Nobel Prize as a co-discoverer of C60 (better known as the Buckyball) while at Rice University, will be speaking about that discovery as an example of how a scientific discovery happens. It is VERY rare to hear someone talk about how they came up with the idea behind such an important experiment, let alone one that is revolutionizing everything from chemistry and physics to materials science (nanotubes) and medicine. I should also mention that he is a good speaker.
All programs start at 5:30 pm in the Askew Student Life Center, which you can read about here . It is east of the Leach Center and west of Parking Garage No. 2, just west of the part of Woodward Avenue that is closed to traffic. The easiest access to parking is from the south, heading up Woodward from Gaines. The entrance to the theater is on the west side of the building that faces Learning Way.

New solar power researchers join FSU
FSU recently announced hiring three new professors in three different departments (Physics, Chemistry and Biochemistry, and Chemical and Biomedical Engineering) who will be part of a new initiative in Energy and Materials.

One of these new professors is across the hall from the professor that David is doing his internship with at FSU.

Upcoming Schedule for Fall 2013
Today, Thursday, September 19
SM-260 at 5:30 pm
Engineering Club Program about internships: Why to get one and how to get one.
Wednesday, September 25
10 am to 12 noon and from 1 pm to 3 pm
FSU Advising Day: Several FSU engineering advisors will be at TCC in the Student Union Ballroom to answer questions about what you need to know about transferring. Please bring a copy of your unofficial TCC transcript.
Thursday, October3
SM-260 at 5:30 pm
Engineering Club Program about the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. Ms. Danae Jarman will talk about the difference between various Engineering careers, what it takes to get into the College of Engineering, and what it takes to succeed once you are there. Ms. Jarman is the main FSU undergrad Engineering Advisor, and advises freshman and sophomore pre-engineering students at FSU. She is also available in SU-228 at TCC from 1:30 to 5:00 pm on every other Tuesday (10/1, 10/15, 10/29, etc). You can also get advice from Troy Mahler, who was an advisor at FSU before becoming an advisor at TCC.
Later in October:
Meeting at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering so we can tour various labs and meet with both faculty and students. The plan is to have lots of FSU students who transferred from TCC so they can tell you what they think you need to know before transferring to the university. This will probably be on a Friday afternoon.
Advising session by Dr. Carr to help you plan for Spring registration and/or transfer in the summer. I expect that Troy Mahler will be there to answer any questions I can't answer. We may have more than one session so they can focus on transfer for almost-graduating students and getting off to a good start at TCC for students who have not yet taken calculus and physics. At least one of these will probably be in the afternoon at 2:30 for those who can't make the 5:30 meeting on October 3.
