March Break Open House a Success
On Saturday March 9, The atrium of the Phsyics & Astronomy building was a hive of activity as incoming undergraduates visited with friends and family to check out campus, sit in on a lecture, and get some information about programs they are interested in majoring (or minoring) in.
After the event wrapped downstairs, there was a special meet and greet in the 2nd floor lounge, where students who expressed an interest in Physics & Astronomy could connect with current students and alumni (l to r):

March Break open House and the accompanying meet and greet would not have been successful without the time and dedication of our volunteers, who gave up part of their weekend to represent us to visiting students and parents.
Particular thanks to all the undergraduate students [Athy Aravinthan, Julia Bruce-Robertson, Connor Carter, Tim Hallatt, Sean Huggins, Joseph Li, Matt McCready, Victoria Pinnegar, and Nick Popiel] who ran our table so enthusiastically, as well as all our faculty and staff volunteers, especially Tamie, Jen, Phin and Sab for their fantastic organizational skills.
