New Physics Course Alert!!!

 Hi First Years!

We hope you're having a lovely end to your week. We have an exciting announcement from the Physics department... Introducing "ASTR BC1753- Life in the Universe", taught by Professor Nick Luber, is now available for July registration! 

This class is an amazing opportunity to fulfill your science distributional requirement, since you can also take "ASTR UN1903- Astronomy Lab" alongside "Life in the Universe" to satisfy the lab + lecture science requirement. Make sure to sign up for this course during July registration, as it always fills up quickly with upperclassmen.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns don't hesitate to reach out to us at first-year@barnard.edu or the relevant offices.

Best,
The First Year Team
