    ., learning how to operate the equipment, including the 16-inch telescope, and talking about space. It was a culmination of a childhood passion for astronomy and astrophysics. “My first class at PLU was a physics course with Dr. Bret Underwood,” said Kop. “I knew it was going to be difficult, and it was. But the new experience of a small class with a professor who is very good at one-on-one talks and working with individual students, was just great,” he said. Kop’s interest for science grew when he took
