The End of an Era:

InnerSpace/OuterSpace Open House cancelled for fall 2009

 

After 14 years and thousands of visitors,  the InnerSpace/OuterSpace Open House, a fixture of early November, has been scrubbed by the Dean's Office for 2009.  The participating labs will transfer their outreach activity instead to the 2010 Explore SDSU and the 2010 Science Festival, which will occur in March this coming year.

 

My thanks to the members of the Astronomy, Chemistry, Geological Sciences,  Biology, Computational Sciences and Physics Departments for their help and participation over the years, as well as the related student science clubs who manned many of the exhibits and made this event  as fun and successful as it was.

 

InnerSpace/OuterSpace Open House may return in the future, and I'll be sure to let everyone know if it does.
