    • AAPT Report on Lawrence Site Visit. This link will connect you to a report on a detailed study of outstanding undergraduate departments of physics conducted by the National Task Force on Undergraduate Physics under the auspices of the American Association of Physics Teachers and other organizations. Part of that study involved visiting a number of successful departments at colleges and universities around the country, including Lawrence. You might be interested in the entire report. If you select "Site Visite Case Study Reports" on this first page, you will be presented with a list of the case-study schools. You can then select "Lawrence University" on that page to view the report on the visit made to Lawrence. (This last link requires Adobe Acrobat Reader.)
