  • Open Session to Discuss our Physics/Astronomy Curriculum

    Thursday, May 25, noon-1:00 pm, Olin 04

    The department will be hosting an open session for students to talk about our curriculum. This meeting is a followup/supplement to the questionnaire we sent out to physics majors several weeks ago. As you might remember, we remarked that over the span of the next year, our department is going to take a hard look at our physics/astronomy curriculum, especially in light of the upcoming, college-wide reduction in faculty teaching load. We would really appreciate your input and feedback. As an inducement, good food will be served along with a special desert.
