- "Who's Hiring Physics
Bachelors?" This web resource lists, by state, the names of many
companies that have recently hired new physics bachelors. The lists may be useful to job
seekers in identifying the variety of companies that hire physics
bachelors and to physics departments wishing to strengthen contacts with
local employers. The majority of new physics bachelors entering the workforce
take jobs in science and engineering fields. The employers that hire these
individuals span a broad spectrum, from Lockheed Martin and Google to the
US House of Representatives. You can view the list online.
- We have a lot of ideas for activities
that we can do as a group. Do you want to help organize an activity? Do
