A Smithie Goes to Washington!

Smith junior Lauren (Izzy) Masiunas was one of 74 students nationwide to present her research in a symposium "Posters on the Hill" to Congress in April. See the article in Grecourt and in the Sophian.

Public Stargazing

Every few weeks, weather permitting, we hold a public stargazing session at the McConnell Rooftop Observatory. These "star parties" are staffed by undergraduate teaching assistants. You can call the laboratory instructor, Meg Thacher, 413-585-3935, if you have any questions or special needs. You can check the same number to see if an open house has been canceled due to inclement weather.  If you plan to come, dress warmly, and expect to be amazed by your sky!

Fall 2011: All stargazing sessions are held 8:30 - 9:30 pm
