Who's Who In the Secchi Dip-In?

Since 1994, the Dip-In has been guided by three hard working-professors from Kent State University (below).   They provide the intellectual and spiritual leadership needed to guide each year's Dip-In to its successful conclusion.

The Dip-In really could not be conducted without the dedicated assistance of our student Dip-In Data Engineers.  They mail all the brochures and questionnaires, enter the data as the cards are returned, checking the database entries for accuracy, and e-mail or telephone volunteers to ask about missing data.  It does make you wonder what the three professors do, doesn't it?

A special thanks to all of the volunteer coordinators and volunteers that have participated over the years.  Without your help, there would be no Dip-In.

Many Thanks From The Dippers at Kent State
