Physics Table
Please come join us in the LDC Class of ’51 dining room for lunch and social time this Tuesday (tomorrow) the 2nd of May from noon – 1. If you’re off board or a first year student, the department will pay for your lunch! You don’t even need to know anything about Physics yet– you can just come meet other folks who are probably also interested in the subject, like students, faculty, and staff.

May 5th Jerrilyn Goldberg ‘18: “Physics Is Just the Beginning!”
Jerrilyn Goldberg (PHYS/ENTS 2018) will share her experience evolving her professional path and identity, with particular focus on her ‘non-traditional’ participation in the physics program. After Carleton, Jerrilyn worked at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in the Building Technologies & Urban Systems department focusing on adoption of energy efficient technologies, before taking a career pivot into R&D finance. This talk will cover key stages of choosing a major, finding the “right job”, and picking a graduate program while considering the many benefits and impacts of joining the physics community at Carleton.
