ANNOUNCEMENTS

Could you use a little bit of extra help reaching your goals?
Dr. Brian Pilcher,
Instructor and Learning Strategist,
joined the College of Science this fall and focuses on helping students with study skills, time management and more. He would love to work with you!
Read a letter from him to students here.

The Tracy Hall Science Center (THSC) at Weber State University is excited to invite you to stop in and experience the OmniGlobe, a 48" spherical display system about our Earth.

This true digital globe is the most accurate way to represent the Earth and our Planets. The OmniGlobe is an exceptional tool to help educate about important global issues like ecology, the environment, climate change, oceanography, geology, history, human impact and more.

This state-of-the-art OmniGlobe system was made possible by generous donations from the Val A. Browning Foundation, Weber County R.A.M.P. and Dominion Energy. Stop by the 2nd floor of the THSC and learn something new about our Earth!
