[Academic] Welcome week PDA meetings and quiz

[Physics Deputy Director of Teaching]

Dear All,

It’s time to plan for the next academic year and that starts with asking 
you to reserve *Thursday 14th September 2023 from 14:00-17:00* to meet 
with all our students, compete in the inaugural Welcome Week quiz and 
(if you are a PDA) to meet with your PDA family.

In this year’s Welcome Week (Monday 11th Sept – Friday 15th Sept), we 
will be focussing on building a stronger community between staff, 
students and potential employers.  We will be running a number of events 
to welcome around 300 new and returning undergraduate students to the 
Department. These events are designed to give them an opportunity to 
engage with academic life and socialise with their peers but also to 
start thinking ahead to their future careers.

On the afternoon of Thursday 14th September, we will have academic 
family PDA meetings from 14.00 - 14.30, followed by a PDA academic 
family quiz from 15:00-17:00. We would encourage all staff, including 
those without PDA responsibilities, to take part in the PDA quiz and 
invite their RAs along too. There will be prizes but the bragging rights 
alone will be worth it!

We will be sending an Outlook Calendar invitation shortly. If you are a 
PDA and have prior commitments, please nominate a suitable replacement 
and let Ben Hourahine 
<mailto:physics-director-student-support%20%3cphysics-director-student-support at strath.ac.uk%3e> 
know who that is.

We look forward to seeing you all on the 14th September.

Best wishes,

Alison, Ben & Helen
