One of our recent alumnae, Renee Dickinson, wrote to tell us about how she was adjusting to graduate school. She's pursuing a degree in medical physics, in part because of contact she had with one of our featured alumni. She shares this comment:
"I remember pondering on several occasions during my time at Stetson where I would be headed after graduation. The Physics Department at Stetson established an annual 'Featured Alum' where they invite an alum to come back and share there experiences beyond their B.S. education. The one featured alum I can recall speaking with was David Morton and it was during that afternoon I realized there are so many more options for Physics majors than taking the next 'logical step' of getting a Ph.D in Physics. That was my junior year. Between then and now, I took a internship at Clemson in Bioengineering and have ultimately ended up in Medical Physics. I guess what I am saying is explore your options. Determine what you like and don't like. Do a bit of research. You may just stumble onto a field you could spend your life learning more and more about while thoroughly enjoying it (or at least the majority of)!"
