Happy 50th Anniversary, SPS @ UCI!

On August 5th, 1969, the Society of Physics Students was established at UCI. Since 1969, the UC Irvine Society of Physics chapter has supported undergraduate physics students; engaging them in research, meaningful future careers, and departmental activities. At UCI, SPS continues to be an on-campus organization that promotes scholarly work, community outreach, inclusion, and excellence in the physical sciences.
