Society of Physics Students (2004-2005)

The Society of Physics Students, or SPS for short, is the quintessential organization for students of physics. SPS is one of the ten professional science organizations within the American Institute of Physics. The Lynchburg College chapter of SPS was reestablished in the Fall 2002 semester. For only $20 per year in chapter dues, a student in SPS receives Physics Today, which is a very popular monthly magazine that contains articles on current research at a very readable level. Also included with membership is a subscription to SPS Observer, which is the society newsletter that comes out every three months, and the Journal of Undergraduate Research in Physics, which contains student-written and student peer-reviewed articles describing undergraduate research.
