"It was pretty remarkable to talk with someone that high up in the field," said Dan Dugan, a graduate physics student. "As for winning the Nobel Prize, I'm nowhere near smart enough to get it-my plan is to enter the industry and get a job."
CSU physics professors agreed that Cornell's lecture and the one-on-one sessions reached out to students and the community and fulfilled the goals of the lecture series.
"I think our graduates and undergraduates really enjoyed talking with Cornell," said Steve Lundeen, a physics professor. "In fact a lot of them told me after that they thought it was 'awesome.'"
Sponsors agreed that the speaker was well chosen.
"I think it's been phenomenal; the committee that has chosen the speakers over the years has done an excellent job in picking the speakers, and tonight is an example of that," said Janet Galeener, widow of the late Frank Galeener.
"I believe that this is a wonderful way to honor my husband," she said.
