About

GAP

The Graduate Association of Physicists (GAP) is a graduate student organization in the Georgia Tech School of Physics that aims to provide career development opportunities to physics PhD students, particularly those expecting to leave academia after graduating.  Our plans include bringing in speakers who earned PhDs in physics and ended up outside of academia, organizing physics community outreach events, and more.
