<p class="MsoNormal">Zhaohua, Rob, and I would like to give you an update on our planning for the colloquium of the 2026 Spring semester. The plan is subject to a substantial amount of uncertainty due to the faculty search. Excluding the Fridays of faculty
meetings (Jan 9, Feb 6, Mar 6, Apr 3, and May 1) and the Friday of spring break (Mar 20), we will have a total of 11 Fridays for colloquia, and below is the current arrangement:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Except the GSA Birdsall-Dreiss Lecture, the colloquium dates are still pending. We will try our best to finalize the colloquium schedule as early as possible, so that we can have a full colloquium next semester. Please let us know if you
have any questions. Thanks. <o:p></o:p></p>
