Technical Help /Orientation 2009

This Orientation get's you ready for being here at UCSC as a DANM graduate student. We cover a lot of the details of your Teaching Assistant responsibilities, your responsibilities in being a student in the program, and we also get your hands dirty with some equipment usage.

This workshop is managed by me and I pull in lots of people to help out. If you want to help out, let me know.
