SPS is committed to creating a supportive 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, Ethics Inclusion, 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.
