This year we flew 15 people up north to visit Argonne National Labs! From one busy city to another, our members stopped by the Adler Planetarium and Shedd Aquarium for some stunning sights. While the flight back home was… quite the story, the rest of the trip went pretty much …
To celebrate the start of a new year, SPS hosted its annual waffle party! Nothing brings the physics department together more than the festivities of food. By noon, lines were stretching out the door for chocolate chip waffles- we’ll need to buy more ingredients next time.

Spooky Scary Physicists love the SPS Pumpkin Drop! Thank you to everyone who showed up to watch and a huge thank you for all the support through pumpkin and tomato purchases. We can’t do this without you!
A panel of Society of Physics upperclassmen, hosted by the Excellent Adventures Committee, answered questions about everything research! The panel compiled a google drive of resources which can be found on this page. Members learned about how to get research opportunities, application tips, ways to get funding, and more!
Did someone say Nitro-tastic? Our Ice Cream Social was awesome! We had a great turnout to try our legen-dairy liquid nitrogen ice cream! We got to meet new students and promote SPS in the Howey Courtyard. Shoutout to Dr. Mourigal! We couldn’t have done this without you!
This fall, we got to meet the new physics students during the School of Physics Undergrad Mixer. With the SPS officers, SoP professors, and wonderful new students, this event was a blast! Plus, new students got official School of Physics T-shirts and delicious pizza!
For the first time since COVID, SPS was able to organize our annual End of Year celebration filled with music, games, awards and a Mexican buffet. Following a colloquium by Dr. Steven Chu, the entire physics department gathered in mini Howey to celebrate another successful school year!
Our SPS Formal this year was pretty magical- we dressed up the secret courtyard in vines, lights, mushrooms, and fog, creating a secluded but festive alcove in the heart of Howey. Members dressed up in all sorts of eccentric fashions. See the Google Drive Folder for more pictures of this …
