interdisciplinary study among other colleges and departments at the
University, COP Dean Eric Van Stryland invited the UCF Department of
Physics to tour the CREOL facilities. Over 15 Physics faculty attended,
including the Department Chairman, Ralph Llewellyn. The tour was
followed by a wine and cheese reception, where The College of Optics and
Photonics faculty joined the guests from Physics in conversation and
refreshments.
The CREOL Association of Optics Students (CAOS), the COP/CREOL Optics student organization, provided a tour of several COP laboratories.
