Welcome all to our celebration of science from all of the undergraduate researchers in the Department of Astronomy at The Ohio State University for 2024. We will kick off the celebration during Astro Coffee using a different link than our normal zoom, https://osu.zoom.us/j/92846377130. If you are a guest of a student please ask them for the password. If you are a guest of the department, please email astronomy@osu.edu. Lunch will be served at noon to all SURP students and their mentors.
