    With each event, the responsible party is listed in the right column. Orientation will be held in the Gates Common (sixth floor of Allen). By the way, Allen can also be called "Sieg prime", "PGA", "Professional Golfers' Association" (don't worry, you'll soon be invited to the PGA Tour), "the new building" or nicknames to be determined later.

Some talks have slide handouts linked in PDF formatPDF icon.

People with asterisks besides their name haven't confirmed. If you're a new student and you're reading this, don't follow our example; doing things at the last minute is not recommended.

The courses marked in red are being offered in Fall 2003; you'll most likely take 2 of these courses.
