FSRI ACADEMICS (SUMMER 2023)

CS Math Writing Research


Welcome to FSRI! We’re super excited to introduce you to lots of amazing stuff
at Caltech!




ANNOUNCEMENTS

 * Ma0 has been released on Canvas. See email from Bob!


WELLNESS AND INCLUSION

It is very important to us that you both have fun and learn in FSRI. We provide
many extra resources to help you. It is also very important to us that you
maintain your mental wellness throughout the experience. Everyone on the team is
available to chat, and you can always attend office hours for a non-academic
conversation if necessary. Additionally, if there is something we can do to make
your experience better, please let us know.

Diversity, inclusion, and belonging are all core values of this program. All
participants in this program must be treated with respect by other members of
the community in accordance with the honor code. If you feel unwelcome or unsafe
in any way, no matter how minor, we encourage you to talk to someone on FSRI
staff! We view these sorts of honor code violations as completely unacceptable,
and we take them very seriously.
