    1212 * ''[wiki:"Talks" Colloquia]: Once per week during the academic terms, the Department sponsors a Colloquium, usually by a visiting scientist, on Wednesday afternoon. As these reports on current research in our field are an integral part of a graduate education, graduate student attendance is expected. The Department normally hosts a lunch for students only with the speaker each week (at a local restaurant or with order-in food in the library); one student must pay each week and present the receipt for reimbursement to the Department office. Physics Colloquia on Monday afternoons are also frequently on topics of interest and attendance is encouraged.''
    13  * ''[wiki:"Talks"]: Once a week, currently on Tuesdays, we meet to talk informally about our own research over lunch. Students are strongly encouraged to attend and to participate; each month, a pair of students is assigned to organize each Tuesday’s events.''
    14  * ''[wiki:"Talks"]: In good years we have graduate students organize a weekly journal club. Several department members, usually 2 or 3, discuss a recent interesting paper of their choice.''
     13 * ''[wiki:"Talks" Pizza Lunch]: Once a week, currently on Tuesdays, we meet to talk informally about our own research over lunch. Students are strongly encouraged to attend and to participate; each month, a pair of students is assigned to organize each Tuesday’s events.''
     14 * ''[wiki:"Talks" Jounal Club]: In good years we have graduate students organize a weekly journal club. Several department members, usually 2 or 3, discuss a recent interesting paper of their choice.''
    1515 * ''Astrofest: As noted above, one (Fri)day in September is set aside for this annual gathering of the Department in which all students, faculty, and post docs present brief (5-minute) research reports. All students are expected to participate; student co-organizers are needed each year.''
    1616 * ''Astrofeast (following astrofest) is optional (but usually tasty).''
