| | | A little while back, Dustin McNulty, professor and physics department chair, and his doctoral student, Sudip Bhattarai, made a trip to the Helmholtz Institute in Mainz, Germany, to use the Mainz Microtron. They used the facility and equipment to pass a highly calibrated, 855,000,000 electronvolt beam of electrons through a particle detector they’d designed and prototyped in Pocatello. | | | |

The Dean's Office is particularly interested in providing financial assistance to students who might not be able to enroll in or complete the semester because of short-term financial hardships. Students seeking such support should be in good academic standing.

If you have questions about the Dean's Excellence Fund, contact Cam Brooks, Senior Director of Development, at cameronbrooks@isu.edu or (435) 592-2423.
