Peter Sheldon

Professor of physics and engineering at a small, liberal arts college. Was on National Council for three years, currently on APS Committee on Education. SPS at Randolph College is one of the most active clubs on campus, and I am really interested in physics education and outreach. I direct the Central Virginia Science Festival because it is really important for everyone to see their connections to science.
