91制片厂's Physics Department and SPS chapter is hosting this event. Get
ready for a weekend filled with physics fun, learning, and networking!
All activities for the meeting will be within the Center for the Sciences and Reed
& Curie Halls (the three buildings are joined).
Free parking in Lots C and B adjacent to the Center for the Sciences, as well as the

University SPS, planetarium shows and Selu Observatory tours (weather permitting)
Saturday will start with a breakfast (8 a.m.; bagels, etc. buffet style) provided
by the Artis College of Science and Technology (ACSAT). The day will continue with
multiple sessions including student research posters, make-and-take cosmic ray detector,
MacGyver sessions and others. A buffet table lunch will be provided by ACAST, followed
by our Keynote Speaker (below). The afternoon will see more sessions similar to the
morning sessions.
Keynote speaker: Dr. Shane Larson, APS Fellow; Professor of Physics and Director of
Integrated Engineering & Applied Science Projects at Clarkson University. His talk
on the next generation of gravitational wave detectors is titled "AN AUDACIOUS ENTERPRISE:
LISA and the Future of Gravitational Wave Astronomy."
We will be having a unique "Highlight My Chapter" session in the planetarium! This
will involve you sending pictures and short videos of your chapter's highlights and
we will make it into a short (~4 minute) planetarium show.
