From Shunmuga.Pillay at wits.ac.za Tue Oct 6 15:19:53 2015 From: Shunmuga.Pillay at wits.ac.za (Shunmuga Pillay) Date: Tue, 6 Oct 2015 13:19:53 +0000 Subject: [Astrophysics] Astrophysics Talk Tomorrow Message-ID: <7AE5F5B931A7444FB4DDFF40AD8D8B3F4D7C0B73@Ekho.ds.WITS.AC.ZA> Hi. Dr. Sheldon Herbst from CSAM will be giving a talk tomorrow to our Astrophysics Interest Group on The Early Evolution of Stars. Even if you haven?t been a regular attendee in the Interest Group, please feel free to join us tomorrow at 13:15 in MSL005. It will be a good opportunity to get a sense of what kind of Astrophysics research is taking place in CSAM. Hope to see you there.

Dr. Asha Tailor from the SKA will be giving a talk tomorrow to our Astrophysics Interest Group on The Origin of Radio Halos in Galaxy Clusters. Even if you haven?t been a regular attendee in the Interest Group, please feel free to join us tomorrow at 13:15 in MSL005. Dr. Tailor's study path was interesting in that she graduated from Computational and Applied Mathematics, but pursued her PhD in the School of Physics. She therefore has a very broad view of what it's like studying at Wits. While we're meeting to talk about Astrophysics, I'm certain she'll be open to talking about her study experiences as well. Hope to see you there. MSS Team -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

University activities have been suspended until next Monday. Unfortunately, this again affects our Interest Group. We will keep you in the loop on how we will proceed. We urge everyone in our group to continue preparing for the upcoming examinations. Take Care. Shun ________________________________ From: Buhle Zuma on behalf of Wits News Sent: 20 October 2015 05:13 PM To: Wits News Subject: WITS CLOSED UNTIL MONDAY, 26 OCTOBER 2015 Dear Staff and Students, Over the past few days, we have suspended all University activities on a day-by-day basis, as developments unfolded around the ongoing student protest. We acknowledge that there has been a call for a national day of solidarity to take place tomorrow, Wednesday, 21 October 2015. We also recognise the need to allow time for the necessary negotiations to take place to resolve the current situation. In order to ensure the safety and security of our staff and students, the executive management has decided to suspend all University activities for the remainder of this week. This applies to all staff (academic, professional, support and administrative) and students. We encourage students to use this time productively to prepare for their examinations. Students are also reminded that any protests that take place off campus are out of Wits? control and that the University has no influence over how the police may deal with situations that occur in public areas. We will keep you updated as developments occur. Please note that the University will communicate with you only via its official channels: SMS?s, your staff/student email address, the Wits website or the University?s official Twitter (@Wits_News and @WitsUniversity) and Facebook (www.facebook.com/witsuniversity) accounts.
