Physics on the Campus Luncheon

By Kevin Pitts
June 15, 2012

Each year in April, we hold the “Physics on the Campus Luncheon” which is an event to acknowledge the excellence of our undergraduate and graduate students.   This is where we award our scholarships and prizes for achievement, but we also use this opportunity to acknowledge our excellent teachers (both faculty and teaching assistants) as well as students who have won external awards and prizes.

It’s fun to get everybody together for lunch and it’s really impressive to see all of the great things our students do.   Many of the awards and prizes were donated by alumni and other friends of the Department. We really appreciate their contributions, because they provide an excellent mechanism to recognize our students!
 
We post pictures of award winners on our big screens in the lobby.  I'll post a link when it becomes available.

Lunch first, then awards.
