"I chose to attend EIU because during a high school careers class we had to find someone to job shadow and at the time I was interested in astronomy and there was not anyone around my town that could fit the bill. Finally, after some research I ended up coming to EIU and meeting with Tyler Linder and he gave me a tour of the place and ended up being the main reason for me to come to Eastern."William GoodmanPhysics | Class of 2026
