Poster session: Participants are welcome to present posters at the poster session on Monday, from 4:00-5:30pm in Lunt Hall, on the second floor. Participants can either print posters at home and bring them to the summer school (note that many places now offer printing on foldable fabric, which could be a travel-friendly option), or print locally before the session (for example, at Minuteman Press in downtown Evanston; note that poster files can be sent ahead of time to be printed, say on the Monday before the poster session).

Code of conduct: NUET 2024 adopts the Statement of Welcoming Environment from the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM), copied below adapted for NUET activities:

All participants in the NUET activities will enjoy a welcoming, inclusive environment that is free from all forms of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. In pursuit of fostering an atmosphere that encourages the free expression and exchange of scientific ideas, NUET is committed to the promotion of equality of opportunity and treatment for all participants, regardless of gender, gender identity or expression, race, color, national or ethnic origin, religion or religious belief, age, marital status, sexual orientation, immigration status, disabilities, veteran status, or any other reason not related to scientific merit. Harassment, sexual or otherwise, is a form of misconduct that undermines the integrity of the NUET activities.

Lunch: Participants will be asked to find their own lunch during the lunch breaks. Some options include:

  • Kellogg Global Hub, about 5 minutes walk east of Tech Institute. Options include “Gordon’s Market,” a cafeteria with grill, deli, pizza, salad bar options, etc.. It also has a coffeeshop, “Inspiring Grounds,” in the lower level. Gordon’s Market is open Monday-Friday 8am-3pm, while Inspiring Grounds is open Monday-Friday 8am-2pm, except on Wednesday when they close at 11am. The hours are not available online, but they can be found in the main entrance of the Global Hub.
  • Noyes St, near the CTA station, about 10 minutes walk west from Tech Institute. Options include Tomate (Mexican; online order only), D&D Dogs (hot dogs, burgers, gyros), Soban (Korean; closed Monday), Stacked & Folded (American), and Coffee Lab (coffeshop).
  • Norris University Center, about 10 minutes walk south of Tech Institute. See here for a list of dining options open during the summer, and here for hours of these options.
