Summer Plans for Seniors
by Amruta Deshpande

As the semester comes to a close, do you wonder what your fellow upper classmen will be doing at the end of this term? Are they planning for their next year study, or will they enjoy this one last summer before a few grueling years of graduate school, or their step into the 'real' world - gulp! Here's what some graduating seniors have on their summer to-do list, and general post-graduation list:

Chris Cook
Chris is going on a planned tour of Europe for a month after graduation. He expects to visit countries like France, Italy, Greece, Germany, and Holland. Coming back from his trip, he hopes to work until he goes off to graduate school in physics at UIUC.

James Davis
Jim will graduate at the end of Summer A after delving into some more German study. Then he plans to brave the wilderness and hike the Continental Divide from Yellowstone National Park to the Glacier (hopefully for 1-2 months). At the end of his journey, he will join Ohio State University in the fall for his graduate studies.

Katherine Keller
UP staff's current production manager, Katherine graduates at the end of the Spring term. She'll be taking a year off, and then attend graduate school in the field of medical physics.

Nick Kvaltine
Nick too graduates at the end of the Spring term. He has a number of job prospects for the summer including working at a NASA center. But not before he goes on a probably longed-for road trip with a good friend. In Fall he'll be attending graduate school for physics(decision pending).

Doug Sparks
Doug plans to spend his summer in Tennessee where his family resides. Coming fall, he will join graduate school in physics.

Jacob Tosado
Jacob plans to take a year off after graduating at the end of the spring term. He will be working at the Argonne National lab for the summer, and will visit Puerto Rico in the summer of 2007 before going off to graduate school. Good luck with that GRE when before you apply to grad-schools this fall!

Best of Luck to all our seniors in all of their ambitions and exciting ventures. We'll miss you, so keep in touch and send UP News your letters!
