Lindsley Wins Newkirk Award

Linda Lindsley, a junior transfer student from College of the Redwoods in Eureka, has won the fifth Horace L. Newkirk Assistantship.

She reports, “It was wonderful, thanks to the Newkirk Fellowship, to get to help Dr. Gordon Spear with his Physics 116 lab this semester. Since my goals for the future include teaching physics, it has been a great opportunity to exercise those skills that will, hopefully, benefit many students in the future. The classroom atmosphere and being asked questions regarding the laws of physics in the various experiments was also very beneficial in reinforcing my own knowledge of physics.”

“I would like to thank Nadenia Newkirk, once again, for this opportunity to further my education in such a beneficial way. It has been a great experience, one that will remain with me for many years to come.”
