  • SDA Office Hours

    January 24 (Thursday) noon-1pm, Olin 2nd floor lounge

     As deadlines for summer REUs, fellowships, and grants are approaching, your physics Student Departmental Advisers (SDAs) Aurora Roth and Frazier Mork are holding office hours. There will be pizza and juice! (hooray for free food!).

    Bring any questions you have about applying for REUs (Research Experience for Undergraduates, generally aimed at juniors) or other summer opportunities. There are many opportunities for freshman and sophomores to get involved in research and we can help you navigate that process too! We are happy to review your draft proposals or applications for summer research.You can also talk to us about the physics major in general and any other questions you might have.

    Keep in mind that being a physics student means that you can be successful at research beyond what you might think of “traditional physics research”, from climate change to engineering to education. The skills you are gaining in physics classes can be applied to almost every science and professors want to work with students who have these skills. Now is the time to explore and get involved in whatever you’re interested in!

    Feel free to email rotha and morkf if you have any questions!
