香港六合彩开奖结果查询 student to attend prestigious astroparticle physics summer school
The sky is the limit for 香港六合彩开奖结果查询 physics student Divyesh Dagia, who is set to attend the Canadian Astroparticle Physics Summer School (CAPSS) this May.
The intensive week-long session is designed for astronomy, physics and engineering undergraduates and will introduce them to the current topics in the field of astroparticle physics at Queen鈥檚 University in Kingston, Ont., and virtually at SNOLAB. Only 20 students from across Canada are invited to attend the session each year.
Dagia, who will complete an Associate of Science Degree at 香港六合彩开奖结果查询 this month, learned about the summer session after his professor shared the opportunity with the class. With the encouragement of a classmate, he applied for the session.
鈥淭he day I learned I was accepted into CAPSS was the best for me,鈥 says Dagia. 鈥淔rom the classes I have taken at 香港六合彩开奖结果查询, I know that the seminar sessions are the ones that I get most excited about. With the CAPSS program, I am looking forward to learning what other researchers and professors are working on, as well as meeting students who have similar interests.鈥
Dagia, an international student from Dubai, attended his first year at 香港六合彩开奖结果查询 while living at home. COVID-19 travel restrictions may have put a damper on Dagia鈥檚 ability to attend courses on campus, but he was a diligent student.
鈥淒espite being 11 hours ahead during his first year of studies, he attended lectures in the middle of the night,鈥 says Kevin Douglas, Chair of the Physics and Astronomy department. 鈥淥nce on campus in Kelowna, he has been an eager and enthusiastic student. The summer school opportunity is the perfect meshing of some of his interests.鈥
鈥淐hoosing 香港六合彩开奖结果查询, I knew I would be coming to a smaller school and that was compelling for me,鈥 says Dagia. 鈥淭here really is a one-to-one interaction that takes place between students and instructors, particularly as you move into second year classes.
鈥淪ometimes learning the concepts behind the sciences can be challenging and that is when a smaller class size can be helpful. For example, on Pi Day (March 14) in my Calculus 4 class, we ate pie and reviewed concepts. Everyone wants to help you succeed.鈥
Science studies at 香港六合彩开奖结果查询 feature a range of university subjects, from Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Astronomy and Mathematics, to Data Science, Kinesiology and Oenology and Viticulture. There are a variety of credentials available, including the Associate of Science Degree 鈥 which offers students the ability to transfer directly to third year in any B.C. post-secondary institution.
鈥淎t 香港六合彩开奖结果查询, we match up our offerings with the courses students need to pursue their education goals,鈥 says Douglas. 鈥淲e strive to blend those classes with exposure to research opportunities whenever possible. We want to show students what is out there in the sciences. You can go just about anywhere with your degree.鈥
