About Us
The SPS exists to help students transform themselves into contributing members of the professional community. Course work develops only one range of skills. Other skills needed to flourish professionally include effective communication and personal interactions, leadership experience, establishing a personal network of contacts, presenting scholarly work in professional meetings and journals, and outreach services to the campus and local communities
Locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally, the SPS offers the opportunity for these important enrichments to the student's experience.

Outreach
The Society of Physics Students at the University of Rochester seeks to promote interest and curiosity in physics within the University of Rochester, and in the greater Rochester community. We host a variety of events throughout the year, and visit local schools to engage kids in hands on activities.
Physics Pentathalon
SPS will be hosting the Physics Pentathalon -- an event aimed at providing high school students with fun yet challenging tasks outside the classroom setting.
Students will be able to compete in five different activities to test their scientific method and problem solving skills. Date TBD.
Sigma Pi Sigma
Sigma Pi Sigma exists to honor outstanding scholarship in physics, to encourage interest in physics among students at all levels to promote an attitude of service and to provide a fellowship of persons who have excelled in physics. Election is a lifelong membership and includes a once-year complimentary membership in the Society of Physics Students (SPS).
