WHO ARE WE??
The Society of Physics Students is a national
professional
physics
association
of physics students, teachers, and alumni whose goal is the
dissemination
of physics knowledge to the community at large.
National dues are $20,
which includes the journal "Physics Today". Plus you get 3 yrs of
free membership in another member organization! You may change
which
org each year! What a bargain!
Locally, the society has at least one meeting per month, they
donate
their time to tutor students in physics, and support the local schools'
physics knowledge through demonstrations, etc. SPS meetings may be as
formal
as visiting lecturers or as informal as pizza parties, or popcorn and
movie
viewings, field trips, or lab tours. SPS membership brings about
friendships,
the growth of professionalism in the physics field, and fun. Be
sure to check job announcements and put your resume on the
job board- see physics page for link. 'SPS provides this service to you
free! Take advantage of it.
You need not be a physics major to be a member of SPS! To see
