Announcements
Ready for the Runway?
OSC cordially invites all faculty, staff and students to put on their Monday best (or at least a clean T-shirt!) for the official 2014 group portrait next week.
Make Those Pennies Count!
You have less than a week to decide the fates of SOCk vice president Dawson Baker, Dean Thomas L. Koch and Associate Dean for Academic Programs R. John Koshel, as the First Semi-Official College of Optical Sciences Penny and Pie War draws to a close on Wednesday. Who will succumb to a face full of meringue?
SOCk's Looking Up (the Mountain)
Beat the heat next weekend (and get rid of some of that pre-finals stress) by heading up Mount Lemmon with the UA Student Optics Chapter.
Check Out Nanotech on the STEM Journal
