Professor Cameron Reed has been granted Fellowship in the American Physical Society, the largest organization of physicists in the country, for his research contributions on the history of the Manhattan Project.
Joining the Climate Change Conversation
Four Alma College students and two faculty members will attend the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in December. "This conference has the ability to change our lives permanently," says one of the student attendees.
Shooting Meteorites
Space rocks are no match for Melissa Strait, whose sharp shooting helps scientists know more about the structure of meteorites. She conducted sabbatical research last spring at the Ames Research Center in Sunnyvale, Calif.

Now that the accreditation team visit is over, Ann Hall can relax. While the final outcome by the Higher Learning Commission won't be announced for several months, Hall was pleased with the accreditation review process. She looks back at the last two years as a positive experience.
