Armed with ingredients like half-and-half, sugar, liquid nitrogen, and coconut milk (for those with dairy restrictions!), SPS made ice cream from scratch for the School of Physics. Faculty and students had the choice of vanilla, strawberry (with real fruit), or coconut, and toppings like pineapple, chocolate chip, and syrup. Thanks …
To welcome in this year’s incoming students, SPS hosted a levitating superconductors event, showing off the Meissner effect in a sensational demonstration. Event tickets overfilled, and around 75 students came to witness a gravity-defying demo and learn about quantum mechanics!
This year, our theme for the SPS Formal was “A Gala on Olympus”! Members dressed up in togas, robes, regalia, and various Greek garb to complement Howey’s courtyard, transformed into a pantheon. The event featured a professional DJ, an expert photographer, and golden ambrosia, and culminated in the “assassination” of …
For the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic, SPS organized its Physics Field Day event, hosting over 75 high school students from across Georgia! Participants toured various physics labs in Howey, including groups researching graphene and cardiac dynamics, and were challenged by a series of physics activities, from Fermi questions …
This year’s Pi Day may have only been 50% of tau but it was 100% delicious (speaking as someone who had 15 plates of whipped cream smashed in their face) and 300% profitable compared to last year! Never before has SPS put out a more organized effort to smother the …
This year we flew 15 people up north to visit Argonne National Labs! From one busy city to another, our members stopped by the Adler Planetarium and Shedd Aquarium for some stunning sights. While the flight back home was… quite the story, the rest of the trip went pretty much …
To celebrate the start of a new year, SPS hosted its annual waffle party! Nothing brings the physics department together more than the festivities of food. By noon, lines were stretching out the door for chocolate chip waffles- we’ll need to buy more ingredients next time.

We had a wonderful Fall Career Panel hosted by our Excellent Adventures Committee! Thank you to Silas Fradley (Indeed), Sarah Bulger (Engineer and Laser Patents with the Government), Jessica Eskew (Auburn University), John Lewis Corker (Naval Reactors Engineer at Naval Reactors), and Mel Lee-Trimble (Algorithm and Analysis Engineer at GTRI) …
Spooky Scary Physicists love the SPS Pumpkin Drop! Thank you to everyone who showed up to watch and a huge thank you for all the support through pumpkin and tomato purchases. We can’t do this without you!
