Director's Message
Dear Colleagues,
I hope you had a pleasant long weekend. To set this week off with a bang, our 1st Foundations of Physics students can be seen above exploring the conservation of momentum through the famous water bottle rocket lab. Dr AJ Mitchell (NP) masterfully demonstrates a brand new launcher, designed and built by Tom Cave from the Physics workshop. Conducted not far from Dean’s office, the cheers and laughter invited Prof Kiaran Kirk to join the student launch site. (Image: Dr John Debs, PEC/DQS/MakerSpace)
Late last Friday, I emailed the School advising that Heads have been requested to lodge suggested new Departments names with me by Friday this week. Please refer to that email for details about this process, next steps and Department membership.
Have a great week,
Tim |
