Stephen C. Ainlay, vice president of academic affairs and
dean of the College, has announced that Professor Robert
Garvey of the physics department will be the College's new
science coordinator.
Garvey earned his Ph.D. in physics from Pennsylvania State University. A member
of the Holy Cross faculty since 1977, he has developed courses for non-science
majors as well as a range of courses for physics majors. He is co-author of a
five-year Sherman-Fairchild grant to co-develop the successful "Physics of Everyday
Life" course.
In addition to his classroom and course development endeavors on behalf of Holy
Cross students, Garvey has been a dedicated participant in the College's science
programs developed in conjunction with the Worcester Public Schools (WPS). He
has taught in the Youth Exploring Science (Y.E.S.) program and the Howard Hughes
Medical Institute Summer Science Workshop for WPS science and math teachers.
Garvey has co-developed a weather program for 400 sixth-grade students that he
team-teaches each May.
As science coordinator, Garvey will be responsible for coordinating the partnership
programs in science and mathematics between Holy Cross and the Worcester Public
Schools. In addition, he will continue to develop and support research programs
for Holy Cross students and work closely with the Grants Office on a number of
projects.
