Physics Congress Travel Awards

Travelling to Washington, DC next year for the 2022 Physics Congress? Apply for a Chapter Travel Award! Each chapter awarded will be provided one (1) room for the duration of the congress, (Wednesday night, October 5, 2022, through Sunday morning, October 9, 2022).  Chapters are required to present either a poster or work of art, as well as host a table during the SPS chapter showcase, if awarded.

Travel awards are granted on a first come, first serve basis, and the chapter must have 3-4 students registered by March 15, 2022, to keep the room. 

 
 

Fundraising for #PhysCon2022!

What is your chapter doing to prepare for the 2022 Physics Congress? If you are just getting started, or are looking for new fundraising ideas, check out the fundraising page on the Physics Congress website. This page is full of resources for you and your chapter – from travel cost estimators to “getting started” fundraising ideas.  We hope to see you at #PhysCon2022!

The SPS Observer will be coming to your mailbox very soon! The 2021 Fall issue of the magazine gives you an insight into the 2022 Physics Congress with biographies on speakers, sneak peaks into the tours, fundraising tips, how to present a successful poster, and more.  A physical copy of the new issue will be mailed to you and the issue will soon be available online here !

 
 

NBLA Trivia Night

Join the Niels Bohr Library & Archives and Center for History of Physics, alongside host Brad Conrad, Director of SPS, on October 21st for a very un-Bohring night of virtual trivia! All levels of participants are welcome — in-depth knowledge of science and archives is not a requirement!

Grab a team of up to 6 people, come up with a team name, and join in on October 21 from 6 – 8 PM EST. Signing up solo? No problem! Let us know on the registration form if you’d like to play as a 1-person team or if you’d like us to add you to a team.

All players must register here to be able to access the game.
