NEW ANNOUNCEMENTS


FACULTY SHOP TALK
Join your colleagues Friday, April 25, in 250 McFarland Student Union for conversation, refreshments, and a chance to learn about the scholarly activities of one of your colleagues at the third and final Spring 2008 Faculty Shop Talk. This month's presentation, by Dr. Carlos Vargas (Provost) is titled "Let us chat about radiation."  Dr. Vargas' talk will focus on relatively "low energy" radiation, its sources, and its detection and measurement. And for those of you who are Physics-phobes, he promises that no formulae will be used! Attendees assemble at 4 p.m. for refreshments and conversation, with the presentation commencing at 4:20 p.m.

For more information, including the 2007-2008 schedule, and to see an abstract of Dr. Vargas' talk, please visit: http://faculty.kutztown.edu/butler/FacultyShopTalks.html

Although the schedule is filled for this year, anyone with an interest in participating next year as a Shop Talk presenter is encouraged to submit an abstract for the 2008-2009 schedule. Contact Nancy Butler (butler@kutztown.edu) or visit the webpage for more information.
