Celebrate Pride

SPS is committed to creating a community within physics and astronomy where everyone is welcome. We know that there is still a lot of work to be done, but we hope that every SPS chapter provides a welcoming space for everyone with an interest in physics and astronomy.  

We ask each chapter and member to review the SPS and ΣΠΣ Statement on Diversity, Inclusion, Ethics and Responsibility, to make sure a code of conduct is posted in any common areas for your chapter, and to help to welcomes all students with a passion for physics and astronomy. You can also get your own Pride-themed spherical cow sticker here or download the image here.

Chapter Reports due NEXT WEEK

Submit a chapter report by June 15 to be considered for the 2022 -23 SPS Chapter Awards! Preparing your chapter report is a great way to look back on your accomplishments from the past year and be included in SPS publications. We provide a template and the SPS chapters that submit on time will be entered in a drawing to be one of ten winners of a $100 gift card for a pizza party!
