Join us for the annual spring meeting of the New Jersey Space Grant Consortium (NJSGC).

This April 28th, the Physics & Astronomy Department at Montclair State University is hosting the annual spring meeting of the NJSGC. The meeting features a poster session where NJSGC student fellows from the past year can present their research. There will also be a 30-minute research talk by MSU physics professor Dr. Shaon Ghosh on his work related to neutron stars.

In addition to supporting a variety of educational service projects, NASA’s Space Grant Program funds fellowships and scholarships for students pursuing STEM careers. The NJSGC and its 22 affiliate institutions are one of 52 Space Grant consortia nationwide. The NJSGC is directed by Prof. Haim Baruh of Rutgers University.
