This is an exciting time in the Department of Physics & Astronomy. The University is experiencing enrollment increases, resulting in a more diverse student body. Funding for a new building has been allocated and construction is underway. The Center for Science and Math Education (https://csme.utah.edu/) leads several student success efforts, including college-wide learning assistant and internship programs and a comprehensive partnership with Salt Lake Community College, the University’s main transfer partner. Recent admission into the Association of American Universities (AAU) solidifies the University’s status as a top-tier research-intensive institution with a strong focus on equitable education for all students.
