The Graduate Organization of Physics and Astronomy Students (GradOPS) is an official organization of the graduate students of the UC Davis Department of Physics and Astronomy. All physics and astronomy graduate students are automatically members of GradOPS. This group serves as a voice for the graduate students to the Physics and Astronomy faculty and staff. It seeks to better the department by seeking out graduate student involvement and building community. GradOPS intends to promote equity and quality within the department by putting all students on an equal footing and improving their standing in the department.
