WiSE at Duke

Field Trip Summary - Venue Change in spring 2007!

Six members of the PC went on a field trip last Wednesday to check out possible rooms. We have decided that we will take the risk and change our event location for this coming spring semester. This will be a trial period. If it doesn’t work out well, we will go back to women’s center next fall. This venue change will bring along significant changes in aspects like room reservations, food catering, speaker parking, etc. Let’s hope by expanding we can make more WiSE women happy! Claire, we love women’s center, but we really want to accommodate more women scientists and engineers. The bound between WiSE and women’s center will not loosen - please support us on our decision!

The plan is to move our lunch series to one of the four rooms listed below, and cap our maximum capacity at ~75. We have decided that WiSE will still offer lunch boxes on spring events, but limit our expenses on non-WiSE events.

ROOMS: (pending on reservation availability)
LSRC A247 - bright, flexible seating, close by
MSRB 001 – flexible seating, remote
Teer 203 – close by, fixed seating, room has formal stage
Hudson 125 – close by, fixed seating
CIEMAS Auditorium – no food inside, fixed seating, close by
(If you know how to reserve a room in LSRC or MSRB, please let me know!)
