The 2018-2019 school year is off to a roaring start thanks to the Institute for Advanced Computational Science Student Association. On Thursday September 13th, the IACS Student Association hosted a meet-and-greet social get-together for all
students across
campus interested in computational science. However, this was not just another ho-hum
networking event for graduate students. According to IACS Student Association President
Jonathan Rawski, “We had over 100 people registered, from 10 departments, and many people
were first-year students or were coming to the IACS for the first time.” With appetizers
and ale supplied by the Student Association, the evening event was abuzz. “I think
it was a great way to show how lively the atmosphere here is,” said Rawski, “and to
showcase our lineup of events this semester.” This annual social event is “great place to meet with other students
from different disciplines,” said Aditi Ghai, Treasurer of the IACS Student Association.
“I had a great time getting to know how diverse our research community is at Stony
Brook University.”
