1. Do you have a favorite science demonstration? SPS offers up to $300 to deserving chapters who want to embark on outreach projects through the Marsh White Award—applications are due November 15.


2. Do you have a great research idea that needs a little start-up money? The Undergraduate Research Award provides as much as $2,000 to chapters that produce effective research proposals—applications are due November 15.


3. Are you ready to present some of your research results and/or attend a professional society meeting? SPS sponsors research presentation sessions and small Travel Awards and SPS Reporter Awards at a variety of meetings several times a year. Look for the call for abstracts on your chapter's announcement board in the SPS room in your department.


4. Is there an SPS room in your department? There is not an SPS building program (yet!), but we can help you make the case that your department should establish a haven for your chapter. One of the characteristics of successful undergraduate physics programs is a room the students can call their own.


5. Enhance your membership drive with these high-quality SPS recruitment items, including colorful posters and brochures.
