PGSS Michigan Reunion--the first
Our thanks to Laura Anzaldi Mike (PGSS 2003) who hosted a small but enthusiastic group of PGSS alumni and spouses at her home in Michigan yesterday. It turned out that her husband and Beth (PGSS 2004) had gone to high school together and that she had been a TA for Gopal (PGSS 2007). They had a nice time catching up and visiting.  |

PGSS Washington DC Reunion
The DC area held a reunion over fondue last night (including a special guest from the Chicago area who was in DC for a conference!). We had representation from a wide range of classes and even a TA/Govie reunion! We all enjoyed catching up about PGSS-related memories including fence-painting, sleep deprivation, and illicit water-fights. Many of the attendees discussed how PGSS led them on their career or academic path, which covered a wide range - from designing the Mars rover to advocating for K-8 chemistry education to patent law. Submitted by host Simon Krauss (PGSS 2006) Thanks for volunteering, Simon!  |
