Congratulations to all newly admitted prospective UR students! Every year we are excited to meet the new group of admitted students interested in physics and and engineering. We hope that exploring this blog and our website will give you a good feel for what the physics department is all about. If you would like to know more, feel free to leave a comment here, or contact us directly. And of course, please drop by and say hello if you are able to visit campus in person.
If you are visiting campus, we would be happy to let you sit in on a physics class! To set up a classroom visit, please contact our department admin, Mary Ann Stewart. During the fall, classroom visits are arranged centrally by the UR admissions office; they don’t do it during the spring, presumably to avoid unmanageably large numbers during that busy time. But as usual, the physics department doesn’t play by the rules; we’re small enough that we can welcome visitors anytime if you contact us directly.
Looking forward to meeting you!
