Welcome to the Society of Physics Students!
UCI’s Society of Physics Students (SPS) is a social club where undergraduate students who are interested in physics (primarily physics majors) hang out and support each other. We strive to create a welcoming environment for all physics majors and to foster their development as young career professionals and scientists.

Come Visit Us!
The SPS lounge (located at FRH 2107) is always open for anyone to come by! It can be used as a study space, a place to talk about classes, to meet other physics majors, or just a spot to relax. Everyone is welcome so don’t be scared to stop by and make yourself comfortable, it’s a great place to meet new people and spend your time. To get to the SPS:
- Head to FRH (Frederick Reines Hall)
- Go to the second floor (via elevator or stairs)
- Head to the Physics & Astronomy Hallway (left from the elevators & straight from the stairs)
- SPS will be the first door on the left (FRH 2107, windows on doors are covered, there are two entrances)
Meeting Schedule
General meetings will be on Thursdays from 5-6:30 pm. See the events tab for a more in-depth description of meetings and events. Feel free to stop by our meetings at any time (everyone is welcome and you don’t need to stay for the entire duration), but no pressure!
Throughout the school year, we host events and provide resources to support students on their path to success. Some of these include:
- Panels, i.e. graduate student & professor panels to help integrate the department
- Career information, i.e. Industry Networking Night, where students can connect with industry professionals and learn more about how to get an industry career with a physics degree
- Socials, i.e. movie + game nights, ice cream socials to help students destress before/after exams
