[Emeriti-faculty] Fwd: Seeking High School Physics Opportunities

["William P. Oliver" <william oliver tufts edu>]

Dear faculty members,

Are any of you interested in talking to a class of high school students 
in Reading in the next academic year?

Best regards,

Bill

Dear Professor Oliver,
I am a 1982 Tufts graduate who is now teaching Physics to junior and 
senior students at Reading High School.   I am looking for 
opportunities for my students to be exposed to physics-related research 
and applications.  I have had guest speakers visit my classes in the 
past, and have found the experience to be valuable for all of us.

I was wondering if you knew of any physics researchers - at the 
University or in industry- who would be interested in visiting a couple 
of high school physics classes.  I am interested in visitors for next 
year, but if you know of any summer session students who want to try 
out presenting their ideas to the general public, I'd love to have a 
visitor between now and June 12 as well.

As you know, we cover very basic fundamental physics ideas with a broad 
brush in high school, yet some of the students are itching to learn 
more and would find the connections to real-life research and 
applications inspiring.  I am also interested in field trip 
opportunities for next year as well.

I would appreciate any guidance you could provide in these matters.  
Thank you,
Nancy Najmi
