University of Alabama Physics and Astronomy Graduate Student Association
PAGSA is a student organization dedicated to helping physics and astronomy grads succeed here at UA and beyond. We do this by hosting professional advice panels and speakers from both academia and industry, organizing social events, helping with qualifying exams, and trying to inspire a sense of community among students and prospective students.
We also want to highlight the achievements of all students here at UA! Are you a physics or astronomy graduate student who's proud of publishing their first paper, going to a conference, finding a job after getting your degree, or any other academic accomplishment? We want to celebrate with you! Fill out this Google Form describing what you did, and we'll share it on the website!
