The Physics Club - Society of Physics Students
Welcome! My name is Jax Wysong. I am a current physics and mathematics double major at South Dakota State University and the local Society of Physics Students (SPS) chapter president. I work alongside vice president Gavin Perrell, secretary Manish Neupane and treasurer/historian Gavin Baker under the direction of Dr. Robert McTaggart to facilitate the activities of the SPS – South Dakota State University chapter.
SPS is a small student organization for all those with an interest in physics. Pursuing a degree in physics is not a requirement to become a member of this club. We look to advocate and increase physics education on campus and in the community. Engaged students have opportunities to travel to regional and national conferences and interact with students form a diverse educational background. In years past, SPS has held star parties employing the use of some high-power telescopes, hosted SDSU physics alumni for presentations/Q&A sessions, and other community outreach activities.
We plan to host regular meetings for discussions of physics topics, and to develop plans for yearly or bi-yearly projects. I encourage anyone with an interest in physics/astronomy to follow our Instagram account for fun facts as well as SPS future plans. You can find the Instagram account at @sps_sdstate or contact SDSU Physics for more information or upcoming meeting dates.
