The 2011 SURF (Summer Undergraduate Research Function) dinner was held last night (July 7) 
in the Haworth Inn banquet room. Over 200 people attended, including the physics summer research students and faculty. Hope College has a strong tradition of organized collaborative student faculty research and this event marks one of our annual celebrations of that tradition. Besides a fine dinner, we heard a delightful address from Prof. Don Williams followed by short research presentations by students in nine departments. Andrew McCubbin represented the Physics Department with an update on his research into metalloprotein stoichiometry which he is doing in Hope’s particle accelerator laboratory as part of the Nuclear Group.
