Please see the attached flyer for more information.
You are also invited to attend Reichart’s free, public Ruckman Lecture on campus Friday evening. His talk, “The Stonehenge Observatory,” will be held at 7:30 p.m. Friday, October 6, in the Union Auditorium on UNL’s City Campus. Those interested in history, anthropology, and archaeology are encouraged to attend.
For teachers who live more than 150 miles away (one way), we have the opportunity this year to help up to 11 secondary science teachers with funding for travel support. Travel and lodging costs are normally the responsibility of the attendees. Please email by Sept. 15 for more information about the opportunity for travel support; teachers must attend a Friday night dinner and the Ruckman Lecture. laugustyn2@unl.edu
