Activity 1: SPIE Student Leadership Workshop
San Diego, CA, Week of August 20, 2012
Yunshan Wang and William O’brien attended the SPIE Student Leadership Workshop as preventatives from our chapter. The leadership workshop was very informative and benefited both officers in their personal career goals, but more importantly has inspired more outreach and event ideas for our chapter.
Yunshan Wang also presented her research poster at SPIE optics & photonics conference where she exchanged ideas with interested researchers from all over the world.

Activity 2: SPIE Workshop “Finding and Funding Interns”
Date: Feb. 25th, 2013
Ann Moran, the program director of graduate career services in graduate school, gave a talk on internship search for PhD and Master level students. Information including where to look for internships, application materials and interviewing tips were discussed. Around 50 students attended this event.

Activity 3: Officer election BBQ party
Date: Dec. 8th, 2012
Members of the chapter were invited to an informal BBQ at the Secretary's home, in which steak, lamb, marinated chicken and vegetarian alternatives were grilled and served. The agenda was to decide new officers for the next year, and also to hear from members what kind of activities they would like to see happen in the next year (such as invited speakers, etc.). In total, we spent about $150 and had a turnout of about a dozen people joining the activity.

Activity 4: Photography workshop
Date: Jan.24th, 2013
Muhammad Atyab Imtaar, gave a workshop titled ‘Into Photography’ to students at Notre Dame, mainly SPIE members on Jan. 24th, 2013. Atyab is a visiting researcher from Technical University of Munich, Germany, and also an amateur photographer and a member of a Photography Club in Munich. In the workshop, he talked about what you should consider when purchasing a camera and taking a photo, from basic photography knowledge like mirror box, focal length, etc. to advanced techniques.
The workshop attracted 15 students from department of Electrical Engineering, Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Chemistry and Physics. The audiences were very interested in the presentation and asked many questions during the workshop. We provided pizza, which cost about 200 dollars and the event, was co-‐sponsored by Graduate Student Union (covered 125 dollars).

Activity 6: Prof. Gangopadhyay’s talk
Date: Feb.12th, 2013
Prof. Shubhra Gangopadhyay gave a talk ‘Inexpensive Optics for Plasmonic/Photonic Enhancements’ to SPIE members on Feb 12, 2013. She is a LaPierre Endowed Chair Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering in University of Missouri. Her areas of expertise include metal nanoparticle based memory devices, nanostructured dielectric films for nanoelectronics, solar cell and sensor applications, chemical and biological sensors using nanotechnology platforms, and nanoenergetics for defense and biological applications.
Dr. Gangopadhyay was visiting Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, and she generously agreed to speak to SPIE students, as she is always passionate in educating future researchers. Students enjoyed her presentation and asked many interesting questions.
