Email list

phys-astro is an email listserve for students, faculty, and staff in the physics & astronomy department at Calvin University. It is used for announcements of interest to everyone in the department: weekly seminars, social events, special lectures, etc. Students need not be declared majors in the department to be on the list—all students interested in physics & astronomy events are welcome.

The administrator of the list is administrative assistant Mary VanderMeer (mnv3@calvin.edu); contact her if you have questions about the list. Each fall she will add new students (those enrolled in PHYS-195, PHYS-133, and upper level theory courses) and staff to the list. If you would like to be added to the list or if you would like to be taken off the list, please contact Mary.
