[Academic] 1st year welcome event

[Alison Yao]

Dear All,

Thanks to those of you who have already set things up for the student social event on Monday.  There seems to be a little confusion, so to clarify, this event should start at 11am on Monday 14th September.

It takes place within "bubble-groups". There are 10 "bubble-groups", with around 6 students per group. There are, in general, 3 PDAs per group. Not all of the PDAs need to take part, but the more that can participate, the nicer for the students.
There needs to be one PDA per group that acts as "lead", sets up the zoom meeting for that group, and e-mails the members of the group with the zoom details. I would really appreciate it if the lead PDA from each group could let me know when things are organised so that I can make sure that all of the students are looked after.

I have put an updated copy of the "bubble-groups" for the welcome day social event on https://webdrive.strath.ac.uk/idrive/Science/Physics/PDA-FirstYear/PDAs_20-21/  The filename is 1stYear-tutorial-groups-10-9-20.pdf. The only change was adding a missing e-mail address for one student, so please don't worry if you've already consulted this. If you can't access the file, please let me know.
I have also uploaded a very slightly modified version of the material produced by the Physics Society: on the last page of the PPT I have included a discord link that the Physics Society have set up in case the students ask you about it, and in the instructions, I have changed "Alzheimers" to "amnesia" as this more appropriate - thanks to Jonathan for pointing that out to me.

Thanks again for your help with this, I know everyone has a lot to do. They may not always show it, but the students really do appreciate your involvement.

Best wishes,

Alison
