SOCIETY OF PHYSICS STUDENTS
About SPS at UIC
Our Mission
The Society of Physics Students at UIC is dedicated to the advancement of physics education, research, and outreach. Our chapter provides a welcoming environment for students of all backgrounds to explore their passion for physics through events, research presentations, lab tours, and collaborative study sessions.
Meetings
We meet biweekly during the fall and spring semesters. Meetings typically feature guest speakers, research presentations from members, or collaborative problem-solving sessions. All UIC students are welcome, regardless of major or experience level.
UIC Spacetime community

UIC Spacetime is one shared home for two student-led communities. Each club leads its own program, while shared contributors support both.
