Looking for the Undergraduate Physics and Astronomy Students’ Association?

PHAS vs CHEM Trivia Night
On May 3rd, 2024 (Yes, we know. It’s May the 4th trivia, but May 4th is a Saturday and we didn’t think you’d be on campus. It’s not a typo, this thing is happening on May 3rd) we will be hosting a Star Wars trivia alongside Chemistry. Join us at 6PM at the LDL. Snacks and drinks will be provided. Please register here. If you do not have a team, don’t worry! Teams can be formed at the event.

Coffee Break
Join us every Friday at 11:45 AM in Science B 324 for a coffee and treats! This will be a great opportunity to take a breather, enjoy some coffee and snacks, and chat with fellow grad students about your experiences, challenges, and triumphs. It’s a chance to relax and build connections outside of the classroom or lab
