Activities on both dates will be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Manning Hall, which houses the Physics Department at The U of M.

Topics will include "Exploits in Experimental Physics," "Gone With the Wind" and "The Physics of Sports."

The event is designed to introduce students to careers in physics, as well as to acquaint them with degree programs and research at The U of M. For more information, call 901-678-2419.
