What is the concern about the student's progress towards the October presentation?

There is a concern that the student has not yet brought any research progress or challenges to the discussion, which is quite delayed, and it is uncertain if they will be able to present by October.

What is the status of the student's presentation for the upcoming research progress report meeting in October?

The student is scheduled to present at the research progress report meeting in October, but there is uncertainty about whether they will be able to do so given the current delay in their research progress.

What is the schedule for the research progress report meeting in October?

The research progress report meeting is scheduled from 9 am to 5:30 pm, with a research committee meeting planned afterward. The location will be in room 723.

Who is unable to attend the research progress report meeting in person and why?
