What is SPS?
The Society of Physics Students, open to any person
interested in physics, promotes the professional development of students,
and the professional contributions that students make to the professional
community and to society.
The SPS fulfills this mission through seven roles it has within the physics
community.
- Encouraging undergraduate research experience as a teaching tool.
- Promoting science literacy and appreciation through physics outreach
programs to grades K-12 and the general public.
- Through SPS alumni and the members of Sigma Pi Sigma, the Society
maintains the only institutionalized structure the physics community has
for communicating with the "friends of physics" that exist throughout all
walks of life in society.
- The SPS provides an effective signpost for educating the student on
the many career options, in addition to traditional physics, that come
with a degree in physics.
- The active SPS chapter is an especially effective student recruitment
and retention tool for the physics department.
- The SPS is a gateway society to the other professional societies in
physics.
- The SPS provides training for leadership. Through SPS activities,
students' professional development, communication skills, leadership
qualities, and professional networking is enhanced in ways that cannot be
realized in course work alone.
There are nearly 6,000 SPS members in the United States, in nearly 700
chapters in colleges and universities. Membership dues are $20 per year.
The SPS also houses the physics honor society, Sigma Pi Sigma, which has
some 75,000 historical members.
The Society sponsors several publications and programs that are of service
to our members, and help our members and chapters be of service to physics
and society.
