40+ Years Celebration

  EOS is gearing up for our 40+ Years Celebration! All current and past affiliates of EOS, including students, faculty, and staff, both internal and external, are invited. 

Open House: Lab Tours & Demos

Learn about the cutting-edge research and missions from our scientists, faculty, and students. We’ll have hands-on demonstrations, including virtual reality goggles that simulate the space environment, and lots of open labs where you can check out the latest technology our scientists use to learn about our world and our universe.

Celebration: Music & Munchies

Enjoy food, drinks, raffle prizes, and music from the era of our founding. Who will be our amazing DJ that currently leads one of our six research centers? Join us to find out! Connect with friends and colleagues in this exclusive setting, check out photos from years past, share memories, and celebrate our collective EOS research excellence over the past decades. 

Help Spread the Word

We want to reconnect with anyone who had ties to EOS over the years and celebrate this milestone with them. In the meantime, we invite you to think about your time at EOS and provide some memories and/or photos that we can share. Bonus points for really dated hairstyles! 

We’d love to highlight our faculty, staff, students, alumni, and lab groups with a simple Q&A spotlight feature. Please fill out this form so we can share your work and experiences more widely, or nominate someone. Thank you for your contributions!
