Graduate Society of Physics Students (GSPS) Tea Time @ Physical Sciences Bldg., Atrium
Dec 6 @ 2:30 pm – 3:30 pm

The Graduate Society of Physics Students is pleased to announce that we will be hosting Tea Time this year! It’s our hope that these events will provide an avenue for students and faculty to take a much-needed break from their normal activities and spend some time getting to know other members of the UCF Physics community. Of course, there will be plenty of tea (possibly coffee as well) and light snacks, as is befitting of such a social gathering.

On behalf of the GSPS, I would like invite you to attend our first Tea Time event of the semester, which is scheduled for Friday, October 11, at 2:30 PM (immediately following the Physics Colloquium) in the PSB Atrium. Please come join us! Also, we would encourage you to pass along any thoughts, suggestions or concerns that you may have regarding this and future events.

Undergraduate Student Faculty Research Showcase @ Online
Sep 24 @ 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm

Exposure to hands-on research experience is a vital component of undergraduate education, and the department strives to ensure that this is available to our Physics majors who may be interested in performing research with professors here at UCF, even during these difficult times. Join us on Thursday September 24, from 5pm-7pm, for a live 2 hour session to learn more about the research opportunities available in the groups in our Department, and a description for how interested students might get involved. The event will be held online.

If you have any questions regarding the event, please contact (Ahlam.al-rawi@ucf.eduWilliam.kaden@ucf.edutkaralidi@ucf.edu,  or Christopher.Bennett@ucf.edu) as soon as possible.
