Solar eclipse safety / Seven health screenings / Upcoming events / Match Day

Here's the latest

On Monday, April 8 most of North America will experience a partial solar eclipse, but individuals within a band sliding from Mazatlán Mexico to Newfoundland, including Rochester, will experience a total solar eclipse. Be prepared wherever you are and follow these four tips for eclipse vision safety. Then dig into the science and learn from an optics professor how eclipse glasses work to protect your eyes.

When it comes to studying solar eclipses, University of Rochester scholars have been at it a long time. Alumnus William Harkness, member of the Class of 1858, made observations during the 1869 total eclipse that led to a pivotal discovery about the sun's corona.

Violinist Alexandra Cutler-Fetkewicz ’99E, ’02E (MM) attributes her ever-expanding list of musical endeavors to the global education she received at Eastman School of Music.

Don't leave your health up to luck! Experts at University of Rochester Medical Center recommend these seven health screenings to add to your calendar.
