Welcome

Welcome to the Homer L. Dodge Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Oklahoma! We are excited to get to know you and we hope that this welcome package will help you find what you need as you get started on your journey in the Homer L. Dodge Department of Physics and Astronomy. This welcome package contains several sections that are organized by either “group” (undergraduate student, graduate student, postdoc, faculty, staff) or “topic” (such as layout of Nielsen Hall and Lin Hall, campus map, etc.). The welcome package is designed to allow (at least so we hope…) for relatively straightforward browsing.
