Highlights of the Student Experience
The Student Advisory Committee provides community and advocacy for MPGP students. The student-led committee organizes social, educational, volunteer, and other activities for MPGP students. A student representative, elected by peers, serves on the MPGP Faculty Advisory Committee to voice requests or concerns on behalf of the student body.
New Student Orientation, held each year prior to the start of classes, helps students to make connections and prepares them for success in the program. Sessions include introductions to Department of Radiation Oncology leaders and medical physics faculty, staff, and residents; a student-organized social event and medical physics networking event; overviews of graduate student services and resources at Penn; and a cross-cultural communication workshop to help students evoke global thinking and empathy in their communication styles.
