MESSAGE FROM THE DEPARTMENT

Coming Together While Distancing:: We hope you are staying safe and doing as well as can be expected under these difficult circumstances. We know we can’t re-create the community that was and will be in Reiss and Regents, but we will continue to come together in whatever ways we can. The Department Teas continue at 3:30 on Wednesdays (https://georgetown.zoom.us/j/104351179), bring your own tea and cookies), and the Society of Physics Students is organizing study/hangout sessions for Physics majors (watch for emails or contact Pia Bhatia, pb919@georgetown.edu, or Madison Ascione, mla103@georgetown.edu, for details). If you have suggestions or concerns, please reach out to any of the faculty. We are here to support you, and we will get through this together!
