SPS-gathering

The national Society of Physics Students has named the UMass SPS a Distinguished Chapter for their activities in the 2023-2024 academic year.  Congratulations to all the SPS officers and members for their contributions for creating a lively and welcoming community of undergraduate students!

Their activities just in the fall semester included a student activities expo, participation in intramural soccer, a Fall Hike, a lab-themed escape room, informal meetings between students and faculty ("Coffee and Cake" with a professor).  The faculty liaison, Ben Heidenreich, said that "this is a very well-deserved recognition for our SPS chapter, made possible by outstanding student leadership."
