Partnerships

The Society of Physics Students has partnered with a variety of organizations and collaborative projects in order to provide rich and diverse opportunities, programs, services and resources to our members.

Sigma Pi Sigma
Within SPS is housed Sigma Pi Sigma, the national physics honor society, which elects members on the basis of outstanding academic achievement.  This unique two-in-one society operates within the American Institute of Physics, an umbrella organization for ten other professional science societies.

The Nucleus
The Nucleus is a digital library and website designed for physics and astronomy undergraduates. There are all sorts of resources for research and learning, plus cool links and discussion forums for talking with fellow students. Part of the ComPADRE collections funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF).

ComPADRE
ComPADRE is filling a stewardship role within the National Science Digital Library for the educational resources used by broad communities in physics and astronomy. This partnership helps teachers and learners find, and use, high quality resources through collections and services tailored to their specific needs. Many authors and organizations are creating this rich educational content and faculty training opportunities.

Absolute Zero and the Conquest of Cold
Premiers January 8 & 15, 2008; 8:00pm EST
Absolute Zero and the Conquest of Cold, a two-part public television special to premier January, 2008, will demonstrate how civilization has been profoundly affected by the mastery of cold. SPS is a national partner of the program, and will be involved in promotion, outreach and support.

Tutor.com
Founded in 1998, Tutor.com is the leader in live, on demand tutoring and homework help services. Students receive one-to-one help the moment they need it from a professional tutor. There are no appointments to make and no schedules to keep. Instead of simply bringing the traditional tutoring model to the Web, Tutor.com is reinventing tutoring with the help of the Internet and a remote network of over 1,300 screened, trained, professional tutors living in the U.S. and Canada.

MentorNet
MentorNet is the award-winning nonprofit e-mentoring network that addresses the retention and success of those in engineering, science and mathematics, particularly but not exclusively women and other underrepresented groups.

Teach For America
SPS is pleased to present the experiences of several members who are involved in the Teach for America (TFA) program. Teach For America is the national corps of top recent college graduates of all academic majors who commit to teach for two years in urban and rural public schools and become lifelong leaders in the effort to expand educational opportunity.

Careers Using Physics
Visit the Careers Using Physics website for profiles and advice from physicists out in the real world, and other great career-related resources. People are using physics in many cool and exciting ways—ways you might not even have imaged!

AIP Member Societies
The American Institute of Physic’s ten member societies represent the spectrum of the physical sciences. SPS members are encouraged to join one or more member society, and receive a free one year membership in the society of their choice when they join SPS.
