Physics Department Spring 2024 Newsletter
Psalm 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Dear friends of the 鶹avӳý physics department,
How you can help:
Our short-term target for this spring is to raise $2,000 in new funds for the Ken Kihlstrom Scholarship for Promise in Physics to be able to give at least one more scholarship to recruit a new student this year. These new students will begin to form a cohort of Kilhstrom scholars. To put in context our immediate ask and to dream a little, here are some ways you could make an impact:
- $2,000 would match the current scholarship and create an additional Ken Kihlstrom Scholarship for Promise in Physics for an incoming physics student.
[For example, we could meet this target with four gifts of $500] - $20K would generate a scholarship (in a name of your choice) to give an award of $5,000 / year for four years
- $50K is the minimum amount needed to fund an endowed scholarship that would create a new $2,500 scholarship for an incoming student in perpetuity
How to give:
If you are interested in supporting the Kihlstrom Physics Scholarship to support an incoming student, there are a few ways you can make a gift:
- Online - You can give through our secure giving form. Under designation, select “Other” and enter “Kihlstrom Physics Scholarship"
- Check - You can give by check. Make your check payable to “鶹avӳý” and write “Kihlstrom Physics Scholarship” in the memo line.
- Phone - To give by phone, call (805) 565-7073.
- Stock - If you would like to make a gift of stock, you can find more information .
In conclusion – we believe in our physics program offerings here at 鶹avӳý. As alumni, we trust that you see the benefits as well. Thank you for helping us build on our strong physics program for future generations. Thank you for joining us in cultivating thoughtful scholars, grateful servants, and faithful leaders through the physics program at 鶹avӳý.
Sincerely,
Bob Haring-Kaye – Professor of Physics
