SuperDARN radar operator Mark Garrett will be graduating from Fort Hays State University this coming weekend (May 14th).

Congratulations go to Mark Garrett on his graduation in the fields of physics and computer science. Mark has been our local student contact at the Fort Hays radar site and an invaluable resource for us to draw upon for coordination from the very start of the MSI radar build in the summer of 2009. After FHSU, Mark is planning on attending the University of Houston for a master's degree in computer engineering.

MSI SuperDARN wishes Mark the best of luck in his future studies!
