Prospects in Theoretical Physics (PiTP) Participants were offered the opportunity to attend three Morning Lectures in Wolfensohn Hall on the campus of the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) each day, and in the afternoons they were given the chance to explore lecture contents more fully through multiple Problem Sessions held in Bloomberg Hall.  Participants, Organizers and Lecturers enjoyed many opportunities for informal discussions during morning and afternoon breaks and over lunches, as well as during the Pizza and Pool Party and Welcome Dinner hosted by Dr. Peter Goddard, Director of the Institute, and Mrs. Helen Goddard.
