The Physics Department offers a physics colloquium every Friday during the academic year. Researchers from outside the College are invited to talk about their work, students discuss their summer research projects and senior exercise topics, and alumni share their latest exploits.

A new year, a new chance to get involved in the Physics Department. Join us as we gather for the first Friday of the new school year to meet and share what's going on in physics!
Catch up with old friends and meet new ones as we say hello to all our fellow physics faculty and students. We will also share information about what is happening in the department. Join us to learn about student work opportunities, research opportunities, joining the Society of Physics Students, and our colloquium series.
Pizza and drinks will be available in Hayes Hall 215 on Friday, Aug. 28, from 11:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. Grab a slice and head to Hayes 211/213 for the presentation. We hope to see you there!
