Physics Student Organizations

Get involved and build a peer network

The Drexel Physics Department's student organizations encourage you to get involved and build a peer network.

Physics Graduate Student Association (PGSA)

The Drexel Physics Graduate Student Association (PGSA) is a community of graduate students dedicated to exploring a wide range of physics topics—both within and beyond our individual specialties. But we’re more than just a student group; we’re a network of aspiring physicists who support each other in academics, career development, and professional growth. From discussions on grant writing to job search strategies, we cover it all.

Society of Physics Students

Welcome to the Drexel University Chapter of the Society of Physics Students (SPS)! As a chapter of SPS National—affiliated with the SPS National, an organization associated with the American Institute of Physics (AIP)—we provide a space for students passionate about physics, regardless of their major. Since its revival in 2006, our chapter has thrived, bringing together students from engineering, mathematics, chemistry, computer science, biology, and beyond.

SPS is a student-run professional organization focused on fostering collaboration, learning, and career development within the physics community. Whether you’re a physics major or simply curious about the field, you’re welcome to join us.
