Third Conference on Laboratory Instruction Beyond the First Year of College

Loyola University Maryland July 25-27, 2018

Welcome to Baltimore for the Third Conference on Organizing Committee Laboratory Instruction Beyond the First Year (BFY III)! The theme of this conference -- “3D Physics: Joseph Kozminski, Lewis University (co-chair) Integrating Experiment, Theory, and Computation” Mary Lowe, Loyola University Maryland (co-chair) -- builds on the theme of the 2015 BFY conference, and we hope that you leave here with some ideas Ernie Behringer, Eastern Michigan University of how to construct great laboratory experiences Ashley Carter, Amherst College for your students that integrate theory and computation. The conference programming is Marta Dark McNeese, Spelman College designed to provide hands-on learning experiences Melissa Eblen-Zayas, Carleton College and to stimulate dialog and idea-generation that you can ultimately implement in your lab curricula Khalid Eid, Miami University Ohio to help students develop a range of transferrable John Essick, Reed College skills and deepen their understanding of physics and laboratory practices. Elizabeth George, Wittenberg University

Catherine Herne, SUNY New Paltz Another important aspect of this conference is community building. ALPhA is committed to Natasha Holmes, Cornell University providing a diverse, inclusive, and welcoming Heather Lewandowski, University of Colorado community where scientific and educational innovation, especially related to the advanced lab, Melanie Lott, Denison University can thrive. And it is this community, from the Mark Masters, Purdue University Fort Wayne members of the organizing committees to the presenters and workshop leaders to the vendors to Lowell McCann, University of Wisconsin River Falls all of the participants, that makes the BFY Randy Peterson, University of the South conferences successful. As a community, we can keep the discussions going and work together to Vanessa Preisler, University of La Verne support and strengthen advanced lab experiences Gabe Spalding, Illinois Wesleyan University for all of our students. Enjoy your time here at Loyola and take time to connect with others in the David Sturm, University of Maine advanced lab community. Jeremiah Williams, Wittenberg University -- Joe and Mary Benjamin Zwickl, Rochester Institute of Technology

ALPhA’s Statement on Diversity

The Advanced Lab Physics Association (ALPhA) recognizes that scientific and educational excellence and innovation are best achieved in a diverse, inclusive community where different perspectives can be shared and integrated. Therefore, ALPhA is committed to increasing access to advanced laboratory experiences and the development of transferable skills throughout the laboratory curriculum for all physics students regardless of race, ethnicity, age, gender identity or expression, ability status, personal appearance, sexual orientation, national origin, immigrant status, religion, medical condition, ancestry, marital status, political affiliation, educational background, and military or veteran status.
