On Wednesday, February 16, at 4:15 in The John Wheeler Lecture Hall (RLM
4.102), the Department of Physics under the auspices of the Oakes
Undergraduate Lecture Endowment is sponsoring a lecture by Professor Burton
Richter titled “Energy in the 21st Century: The Economy, Security, and the
Environment.”  Professor Richter is a Nobel Lauraete, Emeritus Director of
the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center and a just plain darn good physicist.
For the past few years, he has been studying energy policy and recently
wrote a very good book called “Beyond Smoke and Mirrors” about the global
warming issue.  This talk promises to be very interesting.

Rotary International Scholarships

Rotary International offers scholarships for an academic year abroad, but students need to plan 18 months to a year ahead.

We will have Rotarians visiting UT to discuss the scholarship and the application process:

Monday, Feb. 14, at 2 pm in  WOH 2.116 (Study Abroad Office).

The website describes the scholarship as: “The purpose of the Ambassadorial Scholarships program is to further international understanding and friendly relations among people of different countries and geographical areas. The program sponsors academic year scholarships for undergraduate and graduate students as well as for qualified professionals pursuing vocational studies. While abroad, scholars serve as goodwill ambassadors to the host country and give presentations about their homelands to Rotary clubs and other groups. Upon returning home, scholars share with Rotarians and others the experiences that led to a greater understanding of their host country.
