Description of your department culture
The Physics department is small enough so that everybody knows each other well; it is very collegial. There are 15 faculty members, 40-50 undergraduate students, 30-40 graduate students, several Post-docs, technicians, and staff members. There is a weekly colloquium and several parties during the year where the whole department gathers. Students do many field trips using outdoor pursuits, star gazing, or going to athletic and social events.
The Physics department is large enough to attract very significant grant funding and provide state-of-the-art space and resources for cutting edge research.
