The Advisory Group meets with the user base yearly during the reading week of the Spring semester (early May) before everybody scatters for the summer. At this meeting, the hpcadmin reviews the past year, previews the coming year, and the user base are contributing feedback on progress and problems. | The Advisory Group meets with the user base yearly during the reading week of the Spring semester (early May) before everybody scatters for the summer.
