My time conducting nuclear physics research within the UWL Physics Department opened my eyes to exciting projects and career paths that physics can bring. I would not have made my commitment to pursue nuclear science had it not been for my undergraduate advisor, Dr. Shelly Lesher, and the rest of the faculty in the department.

In the UW-L Physics program, the McNair Scholars Program and Dr. Shelly Lesher prepared me for graduate school. While the McNair Scholar program provided workshops to understanding the graduate school process, Dr. Lesher provided the experience I gained from working alongside her that assured my decision to become a nuclear physicist.

UWL granted me the opportunity to do multiple years of undergraduate research and present at numerous conferences, putting me ahead of many of my peers entering graduate school.

As an international student from Hong Kong, my experience in the Physics Department was amazing. I enjoyed doing undergraduate astronomy research with Dr. Sallmen. I appreciated all the mentorship, academic and work opportunities provided by faculty, as well as the clubs and events that widened my horizons.
Elizabeth (Beth) Tennyson
The Physics Department at UWL is a true gem. The warmth and support offered by the professors remains unmatched. The opportunity to perform research independently as an undergraduate was so valuable. It really helped me flourish in graduate school where I continued researching.
