Thank you! Weather-wise, it was about as perfect as it could be, but no matter the weather, it's the volunteers who make the event the success that it is. Thank you to all of the amazing volunteers who helped with our 4 activities. We had faculty, staff, grads, undergrads, friends who all contributed. THANK YOU!

young lady who helped pack up but I didn't get your name

Haven't gotten the official headcount yet, but I think we had a fair number of folks visiting and enjoying the opportunity to interact with our faculty, grads, undergrads and AstroTerps! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! There were several folks who worked long shifts through the day. I can't thank our volunteers enough!

[If there is anyone I overlooked, I profusely apologize and please let me know so that I can update my notes. And if there is anyone who didn't get a t-shirt but should have, please let me know.]

PICTURES
I managed to take some pictures and they've been posted at

 (Please tag, write captions...) If you have pictures that you'd like to share, we'd love to see them.

**Feedback**
Now, we'd like some feedback from volunteers and from those who just visited: what worked/didn't work about MD Day (overall? department's display)? what did you like/not like (overall? department's display)? Any comments, criticism, praise both for the overall program and our department's 4 events would be greatly appreciated so that we can continue to improve the program.

Our activities:

  • Ask an Astronomer
  • Solar Observing
  • Fingerprinting the Universe
  • Looking Into the Cosmos
Clear Skies!
