Small wonder we are #1 ...

Today, August 5th, as reported by Williams,  175 students on campus celebrate their summer research projects by presenting the results to each other, faculty, friends, and perhaps even potential Eph parents and students attanding the Admission Open House.


“For all students doing research, it is a chance to really see first-hand how different research is from classroom science,” says physics professor and Science Center director Tiku Majumder. “Even in teaching labs, experiments do not have the open-ended, exploratory nature of research projects. [This] is extremely valuable for students as they begin to make longer-term choices about their own future careers.”

What a fantastic experience for these students. Thank you, Parent '12, for your email on the event!
