Hi. You are very welcome. TA’s here definitely spend a lot more time with the participant than TA’s in college would with students I think. This program pretty fast paced and there’s also a lot more than just instructing or helping with problem sets that goes on. There is a lot of behind the scenes work like for example uploading these blogs. Hope that answers your question. Enjoy the rest of the blogs! -Alan T

Just beautiful explanation to why you love what your doing. I couldn’t be prouder of you & your dedication. Seeing my son work so hard & loving it makes my heart smile. The relationships, bonds & determination will definitely be worth it in the end.

Our kids are so blessed to have you and thank you for all that you do for the students. Within the context of SSP, what do TAs do and how different is it from what TAs do in college? Just curious.

]]> Comment on Remembering Dave Pierce by Tracy Furutani '79 https://summerscience.org/in-memory-dave-pierce/#comment-17 Wed, 09 Sep 2020 21:53:27 +0000 https://summerscience.org/?p=4848#comment-17 When I started teaching at SSP in 1999, I still had my notes from Dave’s lectures in 1979. Of course, there were a lot of spots (LST, HA, you all know the drill) where I had no idea what was going on. He was kind enough to sit down with me and go over a fair amount of material. As I taught the material year after year, I appreciated more and more the order and depth in which he presented the material, always tying it to the orbital determination project.
Other random recollections: That fishing hat of his he wore on hikes in the hills above Thacher. Those ballroom dance moves on the first floor of the science building at Westmont. Hanging out in the shade on a hot final ceremony morning at Happy Valley. For this and more, thanks Mr. Pierce.
