SOCIETY OF PHYSICS STUDENTS (SPS) EVENT Physics Department Fall Semester Welcome Party Abstract: SPS cordially invites physics majors/minors and all interested students to our department’s Fall Semester Welcome Party. Come to say “hello” to the physics faculty/staff and students. Find out about our programs (BS, BA in physics, and minor in physics), new physics classes, physics research projects, and employment opportunities. Learn about the Society of Physics Students (SPS) and join it (if you wish)! Our short program will highlight multiple strengths of our department. It will include: welcoming messages from the SPS president, Nathan Smith and the Physics Department Chair, Dr. Kaufman; short description of the physics research by our faculty members and students (!!!); quick self-introduction of SPS officers; and (of course!) lots of pizza.
