Cochise College Visits OSC

Cochise College visited the 3D holography lab where Craig Draper and Micah Mann gave them a special tour of their research. Later, Ryan Sipos performed a cow eye dissection while sharing with the students all the optical components that make eyes function. It was a great day and the students had a blast learning about optics. Speaking with the students afterward, CIAN Coordinator, Trin Riojas, learned that 90% of the students plan to transfer to the UA to study a STEM field, mostly engineering.
