On Thursday, April 29, approximately 50 students, staff, and friends of the Department gathered to honor our graduating seniors as well as our award recipients for 2004. Please click on the links below to view highlights of the event. Significant staff changes in the Department will occur over the coming summer months. Dan Rislove, assistant professor of physics and astronomy since 1999, will leave UWSP to pursue a law degree at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. During his time at UWSP, Dan taught a wide variety of courses. His effort to modernize our digital electronics course is most noteworthy. We will miss Dan's camaraderie as well as his sense of adventure. Our new hire for the Department is a familiar name from an earlier time. Ken Menningen received his bachelor's degree from UWSP in 1990 and his PhD from UW-Madison in 1996. Since then, he has been a faculty member at UW-Whitewater, serving as department chair the past three years. Ken brings to us active research programs in both laser optics and alternative fuels. We look forward to his return to the UWSP campus this fall. Bob Beeken, Dept Chair |
