    Einstein Pumpkin

    The 2013 Physics Pumpkin Parade

    Rally your team, come up with a plan, and create!  We’re looking for physics-themed jack-o-lanterns, or some sort of physics-themed display that incorporates pumpkins.  Send a representative from your team to Olin 331 to pick up your department-supplied pumpkin and carving kit on Monday the 28th (week 7).  Bring your finished creation back to Olin 331 by noon on Halloween Thursday to display. **Location change!** We will descend to the student lounge on 2nd Olin admire the pumpkin presentations and have Halloween treats during common time.

  • SDA Office Hour

    Come to the second Olin lounge this Thursday at common time for a Physics SDA office hour. It’s a great opportunity to ask questions about registration, meet some physics majors and eat free food. Questions? Contact lynnz or sledda.
