RSVP for NAE Regional Meeting
Just under a week remains to register for the May 20 National Academy of Engineering Regional Meeting. This free event, which features some of the most exciting names in optics and astronomy, will discuss potentially hazardous asteroids and potentially habitable extrasolar planets; big telescopes and bigger plans; and the ways in which making mirrors may make solar energy more affordable.
Pate Scholarship: Application and Announcement
The Michael Pate Optical Sciences Memorial Scholarship is accepting applications for its 2013 award through June 30.
Show Your Support with a Spiffy Shirt
As graduation approaches and so many scholars prepare to bid farewell to the fair halls of Meinel, OSC hopes that all of its graduates will take an important piece of the college with them.
And buying an OSC shirt, hat or mug is a great way to do just that! We encourage everyone — even those faculty, staff, students and alumni who aren't saying goodbye this month — to take a look at the College of Optical Sciences online store.
Webinar on Biomedical Optics
At 8 a.m. on May 14, associate professor Rongguang Liang will give a one-hour webinar on the fundamentals of optics in biomedical applications. Sponsored by Hamamatsu Photonics and Industrial Affiliates member Radiant Zemax, this webcast is free of charge.
