All faculty, staff, and students are invited to attend our annual Department of Physics Retreat on February 1 - 2, 2024. The theme of the retreat is the ethical issues presented by the movie Oppenheimer.
The 2021 retreat was held both in-person in Hixson-Lied G04 and via zoom for those who could not attend in-person. Because of the pandemic our usual two-day retreat, was shortened to a 3-hour meeting.
We enjoyed an ice-breaker led by our SPS officers, an introduction by Fr. Larry Gillick, S.J. and small and large-group discussions. Our subject was burnout and fatigue and featured a panel of physics department faculty.
We are looking forward to returning to a full retreat next year!
