Emory's Chapter - The Society of Physics Students (SPS)
The Society of Physics Students (SPS) is a professional organization designed specifically for Emory students. SPS is dedicated to fostering community among students interested in Physics and serving as a liaison to the greater Emory Physics Community as well as the greater Atlanta Metropolitan Area.
Moreover, SPS hosts professional development events such as panel discussions around graduate schools, careers in science, and forums with our faculty (regarding research in a variety of fields). SPS take part in community in-reach and outreach events such as Physics Live! They also hosts fun and engaging activities - for example - planetarium movie nights, and co-hosts a myriad of events/activities with the Physics department's undergraduate programs. In addition, we incorporate cool self-built demonstrations of interesting physics concepts into our events as well.
Membership is open to anyone interested in physics, engineering, or science in general regardless of your major.
If you are interested in joining SPS, please reach to Co-Presidents Edrick Wang at edrick.wang@emory.edu and Victoria Keane at victoria.keane@emory.edu. You can also contact Dr. Alissa Bans, Faculty advisor at alissa.sue.bans@emory.edu or Susan Cook, staff contact at scook01@emory.edu
