CROP Participants are drawn from high schools across the state of Nebraska, from
Omaha to Osceola and Anselmo-Merna. Wayne State College joins these high
schools with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to complete the list of CROP
participants.
Here's who's participating in CROP
at Wayne State College |

Dr. Todd S. Young, Associate Professor of Physics and Astronomy, heads up
the CROP
efforts here at Wayne State College. Dr. Young is the Wayne State RHOP and
MARHOP Coordinator, and belongs to the Nebraska State Education Association
(NSEA), the American Association of Physics Teachers, the Planetary
Society, and is a current State Board Member of Area Health Education
Center. Besides becoming involved with CROP, Dr. Young actively
participates in the "Physical Science on the Road" Show and is very active
in promoting the Science Fiction and Fantasy Club on campus and the Wayne
Community Theater. In his spare time, Dr. Young likes to write and root for
the Minnesota Vikings!

Beth
Johnson is now a

involved in CROP since Wayne State College joined the project
in 2001 at the Summer Workshop at the University of Nebraska
at Lincoln. Since then, Beth has been instrumental
in helping to keep the CROP effort alive at WSC. This website was
actually created as part of her Senior Honors Project, allowing
her to fully incorporate her fascination with CROP and physics
with her Marketing major and Art and Online Media minors.
Beth is active in several campus
oraganizations, including Phi Beta Lambda Business Fraternity,
Alpha Lambda Delta National Honor Society, Cardinal Key Honor
