Welcome to the Michigan State University chapter of the National Society of Physics Students, established April 22, 1968. We are an academic organization run by and for undergraduate
physics and astronomy students.
Every other Monday, 6:00–7:00 p.m. in BPS 1400. The first meeting of Fall 2025 is on September 8 with Professor Stuart Tessmer and Joyce Mathew, who will discuss careers in research
and industry for Physics and Astrophysics majors.
SPS is a great way to meet other physics undergraduates in a relaxed and social setting.
At a typical meeting, we invite a speaker to talk about their research or a topic
of interest to physics and astronomy students, e.g. graduate school and fellowships,
hunting for research opportunities, or finding a job in the industry.
