The event featured a professional DJ, an expert photographer, and golden ambrosia, and culminated in the “assassination” of …
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.

This fall, we got to meet the new physics students during the School of Physics Undergrad Mixer. With the SPS officers, SoP professors, and wonderful new students, this event was a blast! Plus, new students got official School of Physics T-shirts and delicious pizza!
For the first time since COVID, SPS was able to organize our annual End of Year celebration filled with music, games, awards and a Mexican buffet. Following a colloquium by Dr. Steven Chu, the entire physics department gathered in mini Howey to celebrate another successful school year!
Our SPS Formal this year was pretty magical- we dressed up the secret courtyard in vines, lights, mushrooms, and fog, creating a secluded but festive alcove in the heart of Howey. Members dressed up in all sorts of eccentric fashions. See the Google Drive Folder for more pictures of this …
