  • Virtual Bonfire!

    The weather is turning cold, so doesn’t a bonfire sound good?  For those of you who responded to the email survey that went out, it was decided that THIS Friday, 10/23 starting at 8 pm is when it should happen!  All majors, pre-majors, faculty, and staff were invited to join in the fun in GatherTown.

    See Gregor and Freja (your SDAs) about getting a little care package with the ingredients to make yourself s’mores and hot chocolate.

    Any student is welcome to express interest in attending The Optics and Photonics Winter School and Workshop that is typically held at the University of Arizona. This year, the School and Workshop will be held entirely virtually Jan. 5-7, 2021.
