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
Meet the people behind the clubs
UIC Spacetime is one shared home for two student-led communities. Each club leads its own program, and every contributor appears alongside the teams they support.

Our chapter has been active at UIC since 1988, fostering a community of curious minds and future physicists.
We have hosted distinguished speakers, organized trips to national laboratories like Fermilab and Argonne, and supported students in their academic and research pursuits. Our alumni have gone on to careers in academia, industry, and beyond.
