[AG-TECH] Big Ten AG Node/Distributed Rap Session

[Allison Clark]

Hello,
This email is specifically targeted to Big 10 schools with AG nodes (the 
rest of you can lurk if you would like ;)). This is a request for your 
participation in a distributed rap session involving the Summer Research 
Opportunity Program (SROP) students at your institution. The SROP program 
is managed by the Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC), the 
academic consortium of the Big Ten universities plus the University of 
Chicago. Some of you may even have an SROP student working with you this 
summer. Students and their mentors will be invited to discuss the research 
they conducted as part of the SROP. Pizza and soft drinks will be served.

Pheobe Leaner and I are continuing the AG node Distributed Rap Sessions 
started by Valerie Taylor and Bryant York through the Coalition to 
Diversify Computing (CDC). We are asking grid operators at the Big Ten 
sites to participate in this virtual rap session on July 30 at 3 p.m CST. 
Please advise of your availability and willingness to participate in this 
project. For more information on the CIC please refer to

The CIC institutions with AG nodes are:

Indiana University
Northwestern University (via Argonne National Labs)
Ohio State University (via Ohio Supercomputing Center)
Purdue University
University of Chicago
University of Illinois at Chicago (via Electronic Visualization Laboratory)
University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign
University of Michigan

Thanks in advance for your response,
