The Society of Physics Students (SPS) and the Department of Physics and Astronomy hosted students from Pearl River Central High School today.

Students were welcomed to campus by SPS members and faculty.  They then were able to tour Physics Laboratories of various faculty members.

The College of Science and Technology faculty and student organizations work to meet the university’s goals of outreach to our state and the region.

Here are some pictures from the visit:

The College of Science and Technology has been tailgating for home games. 

These events have offered CoST faculty, staff, students, alumni, and friends a chance to gather and have some relaxing times together. 

This weekend 10/6/2012 we will be breakfast tailgating from 8:30 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. outside the Bobby Chain Technology Center (TEC).  Game time is 11:00 a.m. and we are playing Boise State.

Tonight make dinner plans to “Go Greek,” at Glory Bound Gyro Co. for “Give Back Night.” Join the College of Science and Technology for some great Gyros and a “southern twist on Greek standards.” 

Glory Bound has graciously agreed to donate a percentage of sales to the CoST American Heart Association Heart Walk Team to go toward our goal of raising $1,000.

This event is especially important to me since the deans participate in a “Kiss the Pig” contest.  The dean raising the least amount of money (hopefully not me) has to kiss a Piggy Bank. 

Our College of Science and Technology Student Ambassadors as well as representatives from the Dean’s Office will be on hand to greet customers and sell AHA paper hearts.

Please make plans to join us and “Save the Pig” from me having to kiss it.
