Convocation: Sidney Wolff '62

Since Galileo first looked through a telescope at the moons of Jupiter, we have been finding better ways to gaze at the heavens. And since Sidney Wolff '62 started her career in astronomy, she has been involved in many of the most cutting-edge new telescope projects. Truly a "starblazer," Wolff is the first woman to serve as director of a major U.S. observatory and to have led the construction of six premier telescopes. She also is the founding editor of Astronomy Education Review. In addition, Wolff’s research on stellar atmospheres and the evolution, formation, and composition of stars is internationally recognized. The title of her presentation is "Exploring New Worlds."
