Friday April 14 is Day of Presence. The line-up of events and workshops is exciting and provocative. One event that might be of particular interest to students in our program, with our emphasis on math and physics and our program learning goal to “strive to create an intentionally inclusive and anti-bias learning environment that is attentive to and supportive of the unique gifts and background of each student with the goal of equitable outcomes for all” is a film screening and discussion of Black Suns. If your schedule allows, I invite you to join me.

• PS#10/#7 Solutions Assignments can be accessed here.
