This year marks a century since the establishment of quantum mechanics as a formal discipline… Significantly, Caltech played an essential role in expanding quantum theories, leading innovations, and expanding the possibilities of what science can be achieved.
Today, I want to talk about a figure that we too often take for granted: coaches, instructors, guides who surround us and who, in one way or another, transform our lives. They are like sculptors who, with patience and dedication, shape the clay that we are, smoothing the edges with the chisel and helping us find a shape that we often cannot see on our own. And yet, we never thank them enough.
I died, and it wasn’t from pain, or old age, or illness. I died, and it wasn’t from mourning, from ending, from longing, from joy. I died, and it wasn’t sadness, hate, work. I died, and it wasn’t in past lives or future lives. I died, and it wasn’t from anguish, loneliness, bitterness. I died! I died of being me.
Connecting three philosophers that created a specific school of thought in Magna Grecia. The Mediterranean sun hung low over the horizon, casting long shadows across the olive groves…
There’s a lot of places around campus that no one has any reason to be at. However, the Google Maps algorithm somehow manages to place them all near the top of whatever category you select.
On April 12, 2025, members of the Caltech community gathered for the annual “Make a Difference Day” event organized by the Caltech Y. This article explores one volunteer team’s day at Friends in Deed, a local nonprofit food pantry in Pasadena, highlighting their community impact and personal growth through service.
“For stars from Bette Davis to Angelina Jolie, the ultimate rite of passage since the 1950s has been sitting for the legendary Don Bachardy,” Michael Slenske wrote for The Hollywood Reporter. On Saturday, over 100 works of art and archival materials from Bachardy’s life and career will be on display at The Huntington’s MaryLou and George Boone Gallery.
One of the projects ASCIT B.o.D. adopted in 2023 was to review the building accessibility policies for undergraduate students outside of normal operational hours. For context, following the pandemic, building access was understandably limited in order to prioritize the safety and health of the campus communities. Since then, many of the previous building accessibility policies have been reinstated. The following outlines what these policies are, and who to reach out to should you experience difficulties. Additionally, while there are buildings that all students have access to, students also have access to specific (and relevant) buildings based upon the division that their option is in. Thus, the following will outline the building policies for each division as well as campus-wide accessibility.
Applications are now open for the 23rd annual Wolfram Summer School, taking place June 22–July 11, 2025, at Bentley University in Waltham, Massachusetts. The three-week program offers students, researchers, and innovators the opportunity to work on real-world projects alongside leading technologists, researchers, and physicists. Participants will collaborate directly with Stephen Wolfram to shape and refine their project goals.
