Prospective Graduate Student Open House Apr/2016

SLAC Program

This is part of the two day program on Apr/4-5 for prospective graduate students admitted to Stanford for Fall 2016. The morning programs are at Stanford campus with research introduction and student dialogue. For the afternoons, both Stanford campus and SLAC have open office and open lab programs for both days, with Mondayday Apr/4 has Stanford campus emphsis, while Tuesday Apr/5 program has SLAC emphasis.

With SLAC as an independent school in the Stanford academic system, the extensive research programs in the two faculties at SLAC also offer formal supervision for Stanford student theses. 

  SLAC Particle Physics and Astrophysics (PPA) Faculty
 SLAC Photon Science Faculty

To help seeding the investigation of the various research opportunities, the suite of search orientation talks on the SLAC programs for the current 1st year graduate students when they started in Sep/2015 can be found in the link below:

Monday Apr/4 SLAC Program

For those would like to visit SLAC open house/lab on Apr/4 Monday afternoon, you can take the Marguerite shuttle to travel to SLAC and return to campus. Please see the end of this page for details about the Marguerite shuttle.

There will be an Experimental Particle Physics group reception at the Courtyard of Varian from 4:30pm until 6:30pm.

Tuesday Apr/5 SLAC Program Schedule

For Tuessday Apr/5, there will be a dedicated bus to take students from campus to SLAC after lunch.
