The physics department at St. Mary’s College of Maryland hosts its second annual SMCM Physics Alumni + Students + Faculty Gathering on November 7. The event will bring together alumni, current students, and faculty to discuss the wide variety of career options available with a St. Mary’s physics degree. In honor of the year’s theme, the International Year of Light, alumni who work with light will give presentations on their jobs and their career paths. Other alumni will present brief “elevator speeches” on their current jobs and career paths. The event also provides networking and recruiting opportunities, along with the latest news from St. Mary’s Physics. Breakfast and refreshments are provided for all, and lunch is provided for alumni.
