The Department of Physics & Astronomy will recognize the generosity of alumnus Clint Crosby on Thursday, Sept. 20, by naming its weekly seminar series in his honor.
Crosby, who earned a BA in Physics in 1966, is a long-time benefactor of the department, and his employer, Lockheed Martin, has provided additional funds.
Crosby will speak at the first Clint Crosby/Lockheed Martin Physics and Astronomy Seminar Thursday at 4 p.m. in Trafton Science Center C122. He will discuss “Why Physics? Physics and the Role it Plays at Lockheed Martin.”
The seminar is free and open to students, faculty, staff and the public.
“The recognition is altogether fitting, since the generosity of Clint and Lockheed Martin enables faculty and students to enjoy enriching presentations,” said Russ Palma, long-time Physics & Astronomy faculty member.
The department’s weekly seminars bring speakers from a variety of colleges, universities and industry, covering a wide range of topics and levels of interest in physics and astronomy. Most seminars are on Thursdays at 4 p.m., and are open to the public.
For MSU events: individuals with a disability, who need reasonable accommodation to participate in this event, are asked to contact the Office of Disability Services at 507-389-2825 (V/TTD), 800-627-3529 or 711 (MRS/TTD) at least five days prior to the event.
