Associate Professor of Physics Charlotte Christensen was recently awarded a grant of $66,000 from the Research Corporation for Science Advancement (RCSA).

This prestigious award enables faculty from institutions not classified as "Doctoral Universities: Very High Research Activity” or “Doctoral Universities: High Research Activity" to work alongside leading scientists at DOE-funded national labs during the summer.

Erik Genet ’26 and Shabab Kabir ’26 have been awarded Goldwater Scholarships by the Barry Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Foundation.
