Karyn Bondi joins the Physics Department as a Visiting Assistant Professor. Karyn has contributed to Rhodes for over a decade as an adjunct, but this year marks her first fulltime role on campus since she was a student ('03). She teaches the Introductory Physics Laboratory, and she focuses on making introductory physics approachable for students who habitually eschew it.
