SOCIETY OF PHYSICS STUDENTS - Events

Past Events SPS has organized

In the last four years some of the events UNH SPS has organized: movie nights, pool nights (billiards), SPS open house (with cool stuff like Liquid N₂ made ice cream, dry ice made explosions, Van de Graaff generators, etc.), Bowling nights, Group Physics Study Sessions during Finals (with free Chinese food), Lunches with physics faculty members, A Hike on Mount Washington, Recreational Sports, A trip to see Copenhagen (the physics related play about Heisenberg, Bohr, WWII, and the atomic bomb), A trip to high school classes to do cool Physics Demonstrations, A star- gazing night at the UNH Observatory, A trip to the Bates particle accelerator near MIT, Raffles for a free DVD that you enter by coming to SPS meetings/events, UNH faculty talks about their research, among other events. This list is not meant to be limits on what SPS can do, but a list of past things that SPS has recently done so you may have a better idea of what SPS does. SPS members choose what SPS decides to do, so if you have some great idea for an SPS event all you have to do is bring it up at a meeting and we can then do it!

Our UNH Chapter of SPS has a lounge located on the second floor in room 209A of the main physics building, DeMeritt Hall pictured below. Our membership and activities is funded by the UNH Physics Deptartment in exchange for us holding free weekly tutoring sessions for all undergraduate physics classes (PHYS 400-799, though primarily 400- level courses). SPS members volunteer to do this tutoring as a way to both help other students out, and to keep past ideas fresh in tutors minds and gives them some experience presenting physics to people who don't understand it well.
