Description

<p>For this episode, we welcome Dr. Richard Rolleigh, Hendrix Class of 1967, who taught in the Hendrix Department of Physics from 1974 until his retirement in 2008… and a little more than that, actually, teaching one class per year until 2015. He taught every course in the department, including “General Relativity” and “Space, Time, and Reality.” All the while, he emphasized the importance of research, so much so that the Physics Department’s undergraduate research award is now named for him. Outside of Reynolds Hall, his activities at Hendrix included starting the women’s soccer team in the mid-1980s and coaching it until 1989.</p> <p>Dr. Rolleigh is joined today by Dr. Todd Tinsley, Hendrix Class of 1998, who currently serves as a professor of physics here at Hendrix and will add the role of Associate Provost to his duties beginning this summer. </p>
