Workshop for College Teachers of Introductory Astronomy

在接下来的三年里，每年夏天都会为大学天文学教师举办为期两周的密集研讨会。讲习班的特点是对实验室和天文台的实验室工作采取亲身实践的方法。这些小组审查目前的实验室资源及其适应参与机构的需要，参与使用小型望远镜进行观测，并就目前处于天文研究前沿的专题与受邀的发言者互动。萨默斯-博施天文台和菲斯克天文馆的资源正在得到充分利用，这两个天文馆都在校园附近。

A two-week intensive workshop for college teachers of astronomy is being offered each summer for the next 3 years. The workshop features a hands-on approach to laboratory work, both in the laboratory and in the observatory. The groups review current laboratory resources and their adaptation to the needs of the participants institutions, participate in observing with small telescopes, and interact with invited speakers concerning topics currently at the forefront of astronomical research. The resources of Sommers-Bausch Observatory and Fiske Planetarium, both nearby on the campus, are being fully utilized.
