We want to hear from you, take the SPS Burnout Survey!

This survey was designed to gather data surrounding (1) the extent of burnout, (2) the manifestation of burnout, and (3) how burnout affects people from groups historically marginalized in the physics and astronomy community. Informed by the data, we will be identifying ways to combat undergraduate burnout within our community. The survey will likely bring light to issues unique to the discipline and to students and faculty from marginalized groups. We plan to use this information to advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, as many are under threat across the country.

Please support this effort by taking our survey, and by encouraging the rest of your chapter members to do so.
