SPS Undergraduate Research Poster Session
Space will be available for undergraduates to share their research with the Wisconsin Physics community.  Bring your students with you to the meeting, or at least bring their work to share. 

Physics Photo Exhibition
Similar to the photo contest at the national meetings.  Ask your students to take a picture of a system, natural or contrived, which clearly illustrates a principle of physics.  Submit your photo along with a paragraph or two describing the physics shown in the photo.  Send submissions electronically to Melissa one week prior to the meeting to assure that the images are mounted for presentation. Include the name and a paragraph describing the photo in the email. Alternatively you can bring the photo and description to the meeting and hang it by 2pm Friday. Even if you aren't a student send in a picture to include in the gallery!
