Illinois Institute of Technology, a Ph.D.-granting university in
Chicago, has offered a Masters in Health Physics degree program since
1998. IIT respects the skills and know-how of the health physicists and
allied professionals at Argonne National Laboratory. Accordingly, we at
IIT now solicit the support and participation of several Argonne
employees in teaching and organizing one of our Health Physics courses
during summer 2004--namely, Physics 770, "Instrumentation for Health
Physics." We also request permission to use certain Argonne resources
in offering this course to our students from Monday 21 June 2004
through Friday 25 June 2004. Specifically, we would like to use some
teaching and laboratory space in building 360 and neighboring
buildings, and some instruments and check-sources that will be employed
in classroom demonstrations and laboratory exercises. Use of these
resources will pose no strains on the facilities, and there will be no
conflict between the use of these resources for the course and
Argonne's native needs for them. Furthermore, we expect that this will
not be a one-time request: we plan to offer this course in summer 2005
under a similar arrangement, and we hope to do so in later years as
well.
The Argonne employees directly involved in the course are George Mosho,
Alan Justus, and Rao Veluri. We look forward to their participation in
this course.
Please let me know if these arrangements are acceptable.
Sincerely,
Andrew J Howard
