Ay Senior trips to Hawaii

Graduating Seniors in the Ay Option will be offered one trip to Hawaii,
accompanying a Caltech faculty member on an observing run to Keck or CSO.
This should be interpreted as an educational experience, exposing students
to the cutting-edge observational research done at Caltech.  Students may
of course choose to extend the trip beyond the observing run, at their own
discretion and expense.  Ideally, this trip would be related to a research
project in which they are actively involved, either done for an academic
credit, or as a Senior Thesis, or done as a paid undergraduate data aide /
research assistant with the faculty member in question.  If this cannot be
easily arranged, the student should approach some faculty member in whose
research they may be interested, to join them for a particular observing
run in Hawaii, without any implied obligation in terms of the research work.
The Option Rep can help make such arrangements, if needed.  The travel
should be arranged through the Departmental or Option secretary.
