Clubs & Organizations
What other ways can I get involved?

College is not just about what happens inside the classroom. Students learn a great deal about themselves and their studies by pursuing extracurricular activities like student clubs. To join the organizations or clubs listed below, students should contact their physics advisors.

Society of Physics Students (SPS)
“The Society of Physics Students (SPS) is a professional association explicitly designed for students. Membership, through collegiate chapters, is open to anyone interested in physics. The only requirement for membership is that you be interested in physics. Besides physics majors, our members include majors in chemistry, computer science, engineering, geology, mathematics, medicine, and other fields.

Within SPS is housed Sigma Pi Sigma, the national physics honor society, which elects members on the basis of outstanding academic achievement. This unique two-in-one society operates within the American Institute of Physics, an umbrella organization for ten other professional science societies.”
