Be a part of the growth of Physics & Astronomy by contributing financially to support students in their professional development. $100, $50, or $25 for a scholarship makes a big difference to a physics student struggling to buy books and pay tuition. The Department also has larger projects on the horizon, including equipping the WIRO telescope with world-class instruments to enable out-of-this-world discoveries. Contact Dept. Head Jinke Tang to learn about more opportunities to participate in the science and educational mission of the Department.  Click here to learn more about ways you can contribute to the Physics & Astronomy Department.
