Prospects in Theoretical Physics (PiTP) Participants attended three Morning Lectures in Wolfensohn Hall each day, while afternoon events involved Practicum and Question & Answer Sessions.  Selected Guest Lecturers also were invited to speak on several occasions during the two-week program.  Participants and Lecturers enjoyed many opportunities for informal discussions during the morning and afternoon breaks, as well as over lunches in the Institute Dining Hall.
