The Society of Physics Students at Columbia University

The Society of Physics Students at Columbia University is a student-run club which aims to provide a forum for students interested in physics to meet in an informal setting. During the academic year, the SPS meets every Thursday evening at 7:00 p.m. in 831 Pupin Laboratories. Free food is served. Several times each semester, students or professors present their research, or graduate physics students make advising presentations. To receive emails about our weekly meetings and other news, email hbar@phys.columbia.edu. All are welcome to come and enjoy the free food and ever-stimulating conversation. The SPS has a lounge (Pupin 612 and 614) open for physics majors and other SPS attendees. Please browse around our website to find out some more about us!
