Physics and Astronomy

People - Undergraduate Students

Our undergraduate students are an important part of our department, for these are the physicists of tomorrow. They are the building blocks of our profession. We challenge, motivate, and support our students to their highest abilities; thus, laying a steadfast foundation for the rest of their lives. Come visit often, as we welcome more of these special people into our fellowship of science.
