The staff of the Rosauer Center took a break to observe a near-total solar eclipse this morning. Eclipse glasses and traditional pinhole viewing methods were deployed to observe the once-in-a-lifetime experience. The peak eclipse occurred just before noon, when the sky darkened and the temperature dropped several degrees. What an amazing way to close an exciting summer for the School of Education!
