What It Takes The First-Year Experience is a sequence of courses designed to help you develop the skills necessary to be a successful college student and a thoughtful, engaged and caring member of
Sustainability, three institutional priorities for the university. These concepts will be introduced here via a common language that students will encounter in courses throughout general education, as well as their major and minor coursework. In addition to an introduction to DJS, the course will introduce you to the methods and topics of study within a particular academic discipline or field. You might learn, for example, how geoscientists explore how geologic and human systems interact in the context of

interns discuss celestial image processing. Kop is making light curves, showing how the brightness of several variable stars changes over time. Ordaz captured images of globular clusters, constructing diagrams based on temperature and luminosity to estimate the age of these ancient clusters.STUDENT VOICES: Kop and Ordaz share their summer research from the W. M. Keck Observatory Julian Kop ’24 classifies variable star systems, data processing and modeling. “Astronomy and Astrophysics have been my
