News

  • Budget crisis. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has proposed a devastating 10% cut in the portion of the state budget allocated to the California State University System, leaving the system almost $400,000,000 in the hole. The inevitable impact will be fewer students being enrolled, and a longer time to graduation for those whose are admitted. Both of these will detrimentally affect the state's budget for years to come. We need to fight to reverse these cuts!

  • For more information:
  • We are now our new facility, room 164 in the Naraghi Hall of Science located in the southeast section of campus.
  • Faculty Position - The department is pleased to welcome Dr Chris De Vries as the new Assistant Professor of Physics. Chris will be working to expand the departmental expertise in astronomy.
  • Public Observation Night - The department is moving to a new observatory on top of the new Science Building (Naraghi Hall). The observatory is not expected to be ready until later this year, and installation of the telescope will take more time. In the meantime Public Observation Nights have been suspended. Please check back for updates, and an announcement of the next Public Observation Night, which will be as soon as we can get the telescope installed
