On behalf of the SPS MSUM, I would like to congratulate physics graduates of the class of 2012: Murshid Saqlain, Victoria Honetschlager, Christopher Moore, and Ravindra Regmi. Way to go!

Dear Members & Non-members of MSUM SPS:
It is quite hard to believe that we are almost done with the academic year 2011-12. This year was quite productive for MSUM SPS chapter. In fall, we arranged an educational movie night. The SPS members participated in the University Physics Challenge Competition. A physics demo show was arranged this spring by the SPS members and it was a huge success. The SPS hosted events like ‘Career workshop’ and ‘Time Travelers’ Cafe’ this spring. We also participated in various outreach programs in local elementary and middle school. Newly elected SPS officers, ran the digital projector at the planetarium in Dragons after Dark event.
I would like to personally thank all the SPS members and non-members, whose presence and active participation made this year an eventful one. Wish you all a good luck with your finals. I am S B, Vice President of MSUM SPS(2011-12), signing off for now!

Chris presented his senior year project last week (April 27). It was quite exciting to hear how he tracked data from an accelerometer and then he compared that with the GPS.

Dragons after dark was a huge success. Both Tyler and Aaron did a great job. All I can say that keep up the good work.
On a lighter note,I will be signing off from this blog site pretty soon. We selected SPS officers for the next academic year. Tyler Lane was elected as the President of SPS. Aaron Peterson will serve as the Vice President. Next year, we will get back Nicholas Weir as the Treasurer of the SPS. Andrew Larson was elected as the historian of SPS.

SPS is participating in Dragons after dark event at 9 pm. SPS members will be at the planetarium tomorrow.

Murshid presented his senior year project last Friday (April 13) in physics seminar. BEAM stands for Biology Electronics Aesthetics Mechanics. He explained the complex circuitry of BEAM bots.

SPS election meeting will be held on April 18, 2012, at 5 pm in Hagen pi room.
