Values and Community

We, the School of Physics at the Georgia Institute of Technology, are a community united in the pursuit of scientific knowledge and discovery. We are committed to advocating for and supporting all individuals within our community as they strive for success throughout their academic and professional career, regardless of gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, age, socio-economic status, veteran status, disability, nationality, religious affiliation, or position within the School. All individuals in the School shall be treated with dignity and respect, and their contributions shall be valued.

We believe it is the responsibility of all those who make up the School of Physics community to work together to actively protect these values.

Community Committee

The Community Committee is appointed annually by the Chair. It has at least six members: one staff representative, one graduate student, one undergraduate student, and three faculty and academic professionals. The Committee is charged with:

  1. Providing a forum for all members of the School to facilitate conversations.
  2. Leading community communication and education in the School-wide efforts, for example, drafting an SoP community statement/code of conduct for faculty consideration and collecting/disseminating community resources/best practices.
  3. Stewarding community proposals as they are considered by the School.
