Physics Major Jobs and Graduate School Acceptances

 “One of the people on campus that made a big impact right from the start of college was Prof. Benjamin Kennedy,” said Gibbs. “He changed my perspective on how to approach challenges and to always have a positive outlook on every situation that I encounter during my college career. Another person that had a very big impact on me was Prof. Ryan. E Johnson. He took me under his wing during the early stages of my college career and helped me to develop a big picture mindset which allowed me to have the confidence to pursue anything that I wanted to do in my life.” A member of the football team and Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Gibbs intends to use his physics major to enter the aerospace field as a systems engineer and work on defense systems for the government.

Gong’s proudest moment was being nominated for and awarded the student life committee award in the fall of 2021. Gong was highly involved on campus, serving as the yearbook editor-in-chief for two years, the Ski Club president, a student office assistant in the Office of Student Activities and Greek Life, and a resident assistant in his senior year. “These opportunities allowed me to fully embrace the Gettysburg experience,” Gong said. Graduating with a physics and computer science double major, Gong is considering various jobs or pursuing the dual-degree engineering program for electrical engineering at Washington University.
