High school teachers, studentsA group of high school teachers and students will arrive on campus today for a weeklong study that promises to be out of this world.
The Department of Physics is hosting the Institute for Teachers and Students Studying Cosmic Rays. The 10 to 15 participants are associated with a QuarkNet center run jointly by NIU and Argonne National Laboratory. The objective is to infuse cutting-edge science into high school curriculums.
Funded by the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Energy, QuarkNet is a professional teacher development program.

The council is as an advisory board to the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). Glenn’s nomination was confirmed by the U.S. Senate.
A resident of DeKalb, Glenn has taught a wide array of political science courses over more than four decades at NIU, where he earned a reputation for being among the university’s top teachers.
