Physics and
Astrophysics Graduates
Classes of
1990-2009
|
We provide this list
to tell current students and prospective students about the wide
range of interesting activities our graduates pursue. Some of the
most recent graduates still are formulating their plans, so please
scroll down the page to see what physics majors and astrophysics
majors do 5 or 10 years after graduating from Williams.
The list
is most accurate for a year or two after graduation. In some cases,
we have been able to provide more up-to-date information. If you are
an alumnus or an alumna of the Physics Department or of the Astronomy
Department and would like for us to update your listing or to link to
your homepage, please send e-mail to Professor
Jeff Strait.
