vanderbilt is part of the cirtl network, a 25-institution group of universities collaborating on the preparation of science, engineering, and math graduate students and post-docs for future teaching roles. one of the cirtl network programs is the cirtl network exchange, in which a grad student from one cirtl campus visits another cirtl campus. as part of this program, vanderbilt is hosting physics graduate student bethany wilcox from the university of colorado-boulder this week.
