OPTYCs Town Hall

You're invited to a community discussion on the needs of two-year college physics and astronomy faculty, and the future direction for OPTYCs!

The current grant that funds OPTYCs came in being through ideas and discussions within the community during pandemic lockdowns and regular Zoom gatherings. During the summer of 2021, a working group of 30 volunteers helped to define our community's needs, and brainstormed a vision for TYC physics. From that basis, a small group crafted the grant proposal.

We're now halfway through our grant, and it's time to chart the next part of the journey. OPTYCs is about community and we need input to remain relevant and impactful.

Three virtual session and one in-person session are planned in the upcoming months to maximize opportunities to share your feedback. As always, you can contact us if you have any suggestions.
