LAVC Physics students recently celebrated Metric Day by inviting students, faculty and staff to guess their weight in meters and kilograms. This activity was held to raise awareness about the Metric system, which is used throughout the world, and to encourage people to sign a petition for the United States to move to the metric system.

Congratulations to the graduates of cohort 17 of the LA Fellows program!
