The ground-based Giant Magellan Telescope will be one of a next class of "Extremely Large Telescopes" or ELTs that strive to revolutionize our view and understanding of the universe. The GMT will be operational in 2022 at the Las Campanas Observatory in Chile. The telescope has a unique segmented mirror design that makes use of six off-axis 8.4 m (27 ft) diameter monolith mirrors surrounding a central on-axis mirror, forming a single optical surface with an aperture of 24.5 m (80 ft) in diameter. It will make use of a sophisticated adaptive optics system and enclosure and will have a resolving power 10 times greater than the Hubble Space Telescope.
Brigham Young University Hawaii is a small, academically challenging university (approximately 2400 students) emphasizing the liberal arts together with professional programs in business, education and computer technologies. The University services an international student body: Approximately 50 percent of the students come from over 70 countries outside the United States, primarily from Asia and the Pacific. BYU-Hawaii is accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). Established in 1955 as the Church College of Hawaii (CCH), the campus is located in Laie, Hawaii, thirty-five miles from Honolulu. CCH`s name was changed to Brigham Young University Hawaii in 1974, and today is part of the three-campus BYU system that includes BYU in Provo, UT and BYU Idaho in Rexburg, ID. BYU-Hawaii offers a unique environment that helps students enlarge the intellect, build personal character and faith in God, and live harmoniously among those whose cultures are different from their own. This leads students to a lifetime of learning and service in their careers, families, church, community and country. The academic curriculum emphasizes intercultural traditions, with 24 majors in business, technology, education, science, and the arts. A 17:1 student/faculty ratio gives students tremendous opportunities to learn from their professors. BYU-Hawaii is consistently ranked as a top-tier university by the prestigious news magazine, U.S. News and World Report.
Located in Fredericksburg, VA – between the nation`s capitol and state`s capitol – University of Mary Washington offers more than sixty undergraduate majors, minors, and courses of study through the College of Arts and Sciences, College of Business, and College of Education. This isn`t an education on auto-pilot. We`re one of the top public liberal arts and sciences universities in the nation. (Just check out our rankings in the most prestigious selective guides.) We`ll challenge you to make the connections that aren`t obvious: the beauty in science and the logic in theater. We`ll help you imagine broadly and think deeply. We`ll encourage you to look for the wisdom hidden inside every mistake you`ve ever made. Don`t worry – you`ll also have plenty of time for Facebook, Frisbee, and fun. This is a close-knit campus where friends are like family and opportunity bubbles up all around you. You`ll find yourself laughing out loud in the residence halls, kicking back in the Eagle`s Nest, working out in the fitness center, and generally having a great time wherever you run into good friends, which is pretty much everywhere. But we don`t make things any simpler than they should be, because you`re not going to college to be less than you are. With innovative and accessible master teachers, you`ll be inspired to think critically, engage meaningfully, and communicate effectively. Our small, highly interactive classes motivate students to prepare for, participate in, and embrace new knowledge so that they get the most out of their educational investment. Our graduates are world ready. They`re what employers are looking for: a resourceful, articulate, adaptable, disciplined problem-solver and critical thinker.
