The University of Pittsburgh’s chapter of the Society of Physics Students (SPS) has won an Outstanding Chapter Award from the SPS National Office: a designation received by less than 15% of top chapters annually, with just 80 of 844 chapters so honored this year.

The Society of Physics Students (SPS) is a professional association designed for students and membership is open to anyone interested in physics and related fields. SPS operates within the American Institute of Physics (AIP), an umbrella organization for professional physical science societies.

Our SPS Chapter is advised by Dr. Russell Clark and is led by our student officers:

Madison Brewer, President
Emma Krofcheck, Vice President
Maya Bostock, Business Manager
Zachary Lewis, Secretary

SPS chapters are evaluated on their level of interaction with the campus community, the professional physics community, the public, and with SPS national programs. The Outstanding Chapter Award recognizes high levels of outreach as well as unique approaches to fulfilling the mission of SPS to help students transform themselves into contributing members of the professional community.

Thank you to all of our SPS members for your hard work this year, and congratulations!
