Bridging Physics Talent. April 18, 2019
Dr. Hodapp will discuss why the APS Bridge Program matters, and how Fermilab can support this national network to improve diversity in physics. The APS Bridge Program is an effort to increase the number of physics PhDs awarded to underrepresented minority (URM) students, including African American, Hispanic American, and Native American students.
Dr. Theodore Hodapp is the Director of Project Development and Senior Advisor to the Department of Education & Diversity for the American Physical Society (APS) in College Park, Maryland. Hodapp runs programs that advocate issues relevant to minorities and women.
