| 2007-Dec-06 | The College of Science is pleased to announce the inception of the Ben and Elaine Whiteley Endowed Fund in Materials Research, recently established by long-time friends, donors, and volunteers, Ben and Elaine Whiteley. Elaine's father was Dr. Edwin Yunker. Professor Yunker was a member of the OSU physics faculty from 1925 to 1968 and was department chair from 1949 to 1966. The Yunker lecture was established in his honor. Ben and Elaine live in Portland, and are delighted to have made this contribution in support of the materials science program, which has also been counted toward the challenge made by the Valley Foundation for the College of Science to raise $15 million in program support. |

| 2006-Oct-10 | Note to students and advisors. Our course sequence for Ph211-2-3 has changed slightly. Ph 211 still covers mechanics. Ph 212 covers rotational motion, waves, optics. Ph213 covers electricity and magnetism. See here for sample curricula for Ph 211 Ph 212 Ph 213 For transfer students there are no consequences if the whole sequence is transfered, or if only ph211 is transfered. |
