Geometric Optics stops being offered in Spring 2022

 

Hi Students –

 

So just wanted to get your attention on this – in SPRING 2022, Geometric Optics will not be offered.  We are going to move this to being offered only in the FALL of each academic year starting in FALL 2021.  Geo will be offered this upcoming Spring 2021. 

 

Let me know if you have any questions about this – I just learned of this and if we need to make changes to academic plans we can.  Note that Geo is only a prerequisite for Senior Design, so you just need to have it completed prior to starting Senior Design I.

Arizona Winter School

As a past participant in the Optics and Photonics Winter School and Workshop series, we invite you to nominate a few bright and motivated undergraduates from your institution for participation in the 5th Annual Event, to take place at the University of Arizona Jan. 6-10, 2020.  Please note that we can provide travel support for only a limited number of participants, and therefore the likelihood of admission may be substantially higher for students whose travel is covered by other sources.  Local expenses will be covered by the Winter School.

Detailed information, including a link where students can apply, will appear shortly at

https://wp.optics.arizona.edu/winter-school-workshop/apply/

Space for faculty participants is limited and we try to reach out to new schools each year.  Even so, if you are interested in participating in 2020, please let me know and we will do our best to accommodate you.  If instead you would like to suggest a faculty colleague as a participant in 2020 we welcome that also.

On behalf of the Organizing Committee,
