Recent Graduates

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.
