We invite everyone to join us on Sunday (Oct. 26) from 12:30pm to 3:30pm for an afternoon of outdoor and indoor recreation at the Freeman Athletic Center, a short walk from the main conference venue. Lunch and refreshments will be provided for all (including those who come just to watch). We hope this will be an occasion for all SEM members to get to know each other in an informal and unusual setting along the lines of a really big picnic. Committees and interest groups meeting during the lunch hour might consider meeting in an open air setting so that they may fully participate.
Members may use this blog to organize teams (e.g. softball, soccer, ping pong), possibly along the lines of geographic regions, special interest groups or sections, seniority (any grad students interested in trouncing the post-50 crowd?), etc.
We will have the full use of the Freeman Athletic Center outdoor and indoor facilities:
- Outdoor (softball, soccer, frisbee, tennis, 5k run, hiking)
- Indoor (swimming, ice skating, ping pong, squash, basketball, volleyball, fitness center, yoga)
In case of rain we will meet in the indoor fieldhouse.
The athletic facilities will be available free of charge to registered conference participants throughout the four days.
