[Bnc-faculty-all-list] Nanodays 2016: We urgently need a couple of student volunteers from each group

[Peroulis, Dimitrios]

Dear Colleagues,

Nanodays is just around the corner and we still need a large number of student volunteers. This is a minimal time commitment for them (about 2.5h) but provides many benefits for them, the research groups at Birck, and the Birck Center mission.

Would you be so kind as to help Birck Nanodays with 2-3 students from your group?

I have copied Swati and Jaime who are doing the majority of the work in this email. Also, for your convenience, I have included below an email you could share with your students as well as a relevant flyer.

I would really appreciate your help on making Nanodays a great success this year as well!

Thank you,
Dimitri


Dear all,
This is the time of the year again for NanoDays, a nationwide festival of educational programs about nanoscale science and engineering! NanoDays celebrations bring university researchers together with science educators to create learning experiences for children and adults to explore the minuscule world of atoms, molecules and nanoscale forces.
Birck Nanotechnology Center at Discovery Park is hosting NanoDays activities at Purdue since 2010. All Purdue faculties and students are invited to display their nano-related research at this event. We are looking for several enthusiastic volunteers, who enjoys explaining pre-designed scientific activities and answering curious questions by the future nano scientists.
 Be the part of this excellent 3 days event, April 13-15, 2016<x-apple-data-detectors://0>!
* Wednesday, April 13, 6pm-8pm<x-apple-data-detectors://1>:  Activities for Girl Scouts and Birck families
