Society of Physics Students

Welcome to the SPS Home Page!

Welcome to the Society of Physics web page!  We are a society composed mainly of Physics, Engineering, and Astronomy majors.  We do have  business majors and students who are still undecided, so feel free to join us no matter what your major is!  We are open to everyone! 

We are involved closely with the Engineering Club and the Astronomical Society as well, so if you enjoy science and/or math, we’re the group for you!  We have a lot of big plans for Spring ‘05, so keep checking our web page to keep up with future events!
