The K-State physics department will host the symposium "Imaging and Controlling Ultrafast Dynamics of Atoms, Molecules, and Nanostructures" on Friday, March 31. The program features research supported by the National Science Foundation's Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research, or EPSCoR, in Kansas and Nebraska, as well as speakers from other institutions. Space permitting, all talks are open to K-State students, faculty and staff.

Maps of the K-State Campus and the Student Union are available on the web or together as another Acrobat/pdf document. The Union is being remodeled, so please watch your step and pardon our dust.
