About

Stony Brook Chapter

The Stony Brook Chapter of the Society of Physics Students aims to foster the academic, professional, and social growth of its members by:

Providing a welcoming undergraduate support network for an active, engaged, and diverse community
Disseminating physics research, especially that conducted at Stony Brook University, through undergraduate level lectures and demonstrations
Advancing career development by hosting training workshops and promoting opportunities for success
Encouraging interest in physics in our local communities through effective physics education

Our Mission

Our Mission, as written in our Constitution, is:

To encourage all students interested in the Fields of Physics
To facilitate the professional development of all members
To advance the local community’s interest in Physics
To develop a community within the student body who themselves demonstrate the core values of SPS

We seek to carry out this mission through a combination of regularly-scheduled meetings and extemporaneous projects designed to contribute to personal and professional development; these often taking the form of invited speakers and student workshops, as well as campus and community service events. When combined with our unique culture, they serve to make our organization a central figure in the campus life of physics majors during their time at Stony Brook University.
