The STAR Pre-QM2023 Meeting

from Aug. 30 - Sept. 1 at Rice University in Houston, TX

August 2023

Faculty Club Lunch

On Friday we will have a seated lunch (as opposed to a hurried, twenty-minutes-only lunch) in the Cohen House, a.k.a. Rice's faculty club. To help facilitate an efficient distribution of your lunch selection we have made the following table/seat assignments. Don't worry if you'd like to move to a different table, but please do so after you've receive YOUR food order.
The faculty club expects us to be there at 12h30, sharp. That shouldn't be a problem, right …
The local organizers will help usher you to the Cohen House, and back again. Or, use this
map and directions.

The final table assignments can be found at this link: Table Assignments.pdf

Local Poster Printing

Printing at Rice


If you have used the STAR Powerpoint template for QM23, you can contact Chenliang Jin with your PDF file who can then help you print the poster locally at Rice for $30 (cash).
Be mindful of the fact that the Rice printshop will only be available on Friday all day, and Saturday/Sunday between 1pm-5pm. On Monday the printshop will be closed. Plan accordingly!


Printing Off-campus

The FedEx Office in Rice Village offers poster printing opportunities. Please see instructions, below, and be aware of the 24hr lead time. The Hilton-Americas (the conference site for QuarkMatter) also has a FedEx print shop, but that could be a bit more busy around the time of our conference.



To print at FedEx Office, please follow these steps:
  • Go to the following Link.
  • Click on START ONLINE PRINT ORDER.
  • Navigate to Banners, Signs & Posters and select Poster Prints.
  • Provide the specifications for your poster and upload your file.
  • Proceed to checkout.
  • You should receive a notification within the next 24 hours instructing you to visit the store and pick up your poster.

You should enter the Fondren Library on the west side of the Academic Quad. On this transportation map, it is building #12. You can also use the helpful Google Map that we provide on our own website and which gives a few more visual cues, like the Fondren Library front, we show above.

For the first day, please make sure you have some type of ID (student ID or driver's license is fine) to allow you to enter the library before we hand out the name tags.

Maps, maps, maps … we have many more. Just explore https://www.rice.edu/campus-maps
