Forces on Absorbing Materials Rotating in Optical Traps

The Student Research Symposium began with an address from College President Donald P. Christian, who congratulated the students on their superior work this semester.

"I'm sometimes asked what makes me most proud as President here at SUNY New Paltz. My ready answer is that it's the accomplishments of our students," said President Donald P. Christian. "We're especially pleased when you venture out of classroom and enter into the unscripted intellectual landscape of collaborative research, scholarship and creative activity, and even more so when you succeed in those endeavors."
