People agree: The Zone 3 & 7 Meeting was a hit!
Friday October 19 – Saturday October 20, 2007
"Thank you very much for inviting us to your sps meeting. It was fun as well as educational. We all had a great time. Thank your students again for letting us stay with them."
Ryan Muschick - Lock Haven University
"Many thanks for a fine SPS Zone Meeting. It's always hard to gear up for one of these, but everyone experiences lots of satisfaction afterwards. Your students and you did a great job with all the arrangements and the turnout was excellent. We at Drew will take a hard look at the medical physics career option, and try to get a speaker here soon to talk about it. We will also tell the story of your fine student lounge - clearly the best I had ever seen! Hang on to it.
"Our trip home was spectacular, going across PA with lots of sunshine and fall colors. Got to stop in Lewisburg and have dinner with my daughter at Bucknell, so we got to see two schools on the trip.
"Please send my best wishes and congratulations to all of your SPSer's, and thank them for a fine adventure in central PA."
Dr. Robert Fenstermacher - Drew University
"My students really enjoyed the conference. They said the talks were great, and it was a lot of fun. Thanks for all your help."
Dr. John D. Reid - Lock Haven University
"I can't convey to you strongly enough how impressed I was with the Zones 3 & 7 SPS Meeting that you hosted this weekend. Your conference organization, preparation, and execution were incredible - thorough attention was paid to every detail. It appeared as though the 70 or so participants were very pleased and also very impressed.
"Last night's speaker was a blast! So glad to see so many students and visitors in Alumni Hall. The student speakers did a great job this morning, and the two medical physicists gave a very interesting, informative presentation. Great camaraderie during the entire meeting - registration, roundtable discussion, reception, dinner, breakfast, poster session, lunch --- and "after hours" last night, from what I hear!
"It was nice to see that the Phillips display, our old brass Brashear telescope, and the Student Lounge received so much attention and praise.
"Congratulations for staging such a terrific and successful event."
Dr. Norm Siems - Juniata College
"Great work by everyone who helped out on this effort. It was a lot of work and coordination, and the final product, as Dr. Siems noted, was certainly something to be very proud of. Many participants commented on how well the conference was organized, and on the quality of the speakers, student talks and poster sessions – and how jealous they were of your SPS lounge. Nice job by all the students involved in this – thanks to everyone for the energy they put into this!"
Dr. James D Borgardt - Juniata College
