Who We Are
The Drexel Physics Graduate Student Association is a group of, as the name suggests, Physics Graduate Students at Drexel University. However, we are more than just a random gathering of students, instead, we are a gathering of students seeking to learn about a variety of areas of physics, including those areas that would normally lie outside our own, specialties. Moreover, we are about more than just physics, we discuss topics as varied as getting a job after graduation to how to write grants, to, well, just about anything.
What We Do
Each week (or every other week, depending on schedules), typically on Fridays, we gather in Disque Hall to listen to a talk about a subject of interest given by one of our members. People volunteer to give talks on things that they personally find interesting, with the agreement of the rest of the organization. Of course, a free lunch is provided, so there's no reason not to stop by! In the interest of full disclosure, in order to encourage people to give talks on a variety of subjects in a free-wheeling atmosphere, we do discourage Faculty attendance at these meetings. Of course, we are usually willing to wave that, if the circumstances warrant it.
Get Involved!
If you're interesting in joining in the discussions or presenting a lecture, the first point of contact is our email address. You can also contact other members of the Association's leadership. If all else fails, trying talking to us, or one of the members, in person; we'll be sure to try to get things sorted out for you.
