Hidden Physicist Career Seminars at UTK
ORAL
Abstract
While the unemployment rate among physicists is very low, most people who get physics degrees do not stay in academia as physics researchers. The problem is then to get students up to date career advice which is relevant to their career goals. This may also help with retention in the major, as students then are more likely to know about their options. We've done this through a series of career seminars for our students, called Hidden Physicists lectures, that primarily showcase people with undergraduate degrees in physics and careers outside of academia. In this talk, we will discuss the structure and benefits of the Hidden Physicists program here at the University of Tennessee.
