\indent It is never too early for grad students to begin thinking about choosing an area of specialty and choosing among the faculty who might supervise them. One of the most important choices a graduate student will make will be choosing a thesis advisor. However, it is a process that is unlike anything that students have encountered in their undergraduate education. For this reason, we felt like it would be useful for us to run a meeting where the actual process of finding an advisor is described by students who have only recently found thesis advisors.\\ \indent How did other students find a thesis advisor? What are the key factors to consider when choosing an advisor? What do professors look for before they accept a student as their thesis student? How does finding a thesis advisor lead to finding a thesis problem? We will discuss these questions. We will have four graduate students-Jaime Lust, Allison Cuttler, Joey Reed and Ben Wilson describe their experiences finding a thesis advisor and what happens after a thesis advisor is found.\\ \indent We will also have one faculty, Jim Lin, describe what he looks for in a graduate student before he accepts him or her as a thesis student.\\ \indent All students, especially first, and second year students, are cordially invited to attend.
