GCC PHYSICS CLUB

President - Peter Foster
Email: FosterPW1@gcc.edu

Peter Foster is a senior physics, chemistry and math triple major who is interested in physical chemistry and atomic, optical and molecular physics. His goal is to head to graduate school next fall to pursue these interests. In the time left over after his three majors, he sings in the Grove City Touring Choir and the Grove City Glee Club, plays in the Wolverine Marching Band and is President of the Physics Club. He is also involved in the leadership of Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, Life Advocates and Omicron Delta Kappa National Leadership Honorary. At one time it was rumored that Peter occasionally slept, but this rumor and since been revealed to be false

Allen is a junior physics and philosophy double major from Cincinnati, Ohio. For those who are curious, his favorite area of physics is probably mechanics, and his favorite area of philosophy is epistemology. In his time as a Grove City student, he has researched nanotechnology with Dr. Wolinski, interned for Congress on the Science Committee, won a national debate tournament, met two Nobel Laureates, and have recited the periodic table in four breaths. In his spare time, he enjoy reading, piano, backpacking, and debate, with a little frisbee-golf on the side. He also prefer blackboards to whiteboards.

Libby Carbone is a junior Physics Secondary Education major. She plays soccer and euchre for fun and loves camping, hiking, and sunsets. She is basically pumped about life.

Outreach Coordinator - Matthew T.O.M. Goszewski
Email: GoszewskiMT1@gcc.edu

Hi, I’m Matthew Goszewski. I am a Physics/General Science/Secondary Education major who loves helping people learn and get excited about physics. I hail from Depew which is near Buffalo, NY and am a Bills and Sabres fan for life. I enjoy playing volleyball and Frisbee as well as designing physics experiments for people to do at home.

Outreach Coordinator - David Lewis
Email: LewisDC1@gcc.edu

David Lewis is a senior applied physics major with a pre-med concentration. Among the more common things of collegiate life, he sometimes finds sudden inspiration to tackle unrelated activities (vegetable and grain gardening, musical instruments, baking bread, brewing wheat beer, audio mixing). When no such inspiration manifests itself, he enjoys talking with friends and singing with the GLEE Club.

Historian - Emily Hare
Email: HareEJ1@gcc.edu

Emily enjoys a good novel, walks in the wood and the BBC Versions of most classics. As a history major, she happened into the physics club by chance. She decided to stick around after my first event where she met Peter, Peter, Peter, and NOT Peter.

Sergeant at Arms - Garrett Griffin
Email: GriffinGW1@gcc.edu

My name is Garrett Griffin, and I’ll be a senior and the physics club’s Sergeant at Arms this year. In my spare time I enjoy playing fantasy football and table games such as foosball and ping pong. After I graduate from GCC I will be getting commissioned as an officer in the United States Navy. I am really looking forward to spending time hanging out with the physics club members this year, and I know that we are going to make it a lot of fun.

Sergeant at Arms - Nathaniel Rupprecht
Email: RupprechtNC1@gcc.edu
