I know this is after the semester and many of you may not be available, but here is a link to a free webinar dealing with graduate school. It will be conducted on June 12.

Subject: Updates from recent SPS meetings
Hey everyone,
Hope you have been enjoying some much deserved time off and are ready to get back to work next week. SPS will be rather busy for the remainder of the semester as it plans to attend and hold several events. Hopefully, all of you make plans to attend these events.
The coming events are:
The first and nearest event is the Science against Cancer Relay for Life that benefits the American Cancer Society. Teams camp overnight in the Towson Center and take turns walking around the indoor track to raise money and cancer awareness. Other STEM groups have asked us to attend this event recently and I'm sure some people are available to attend. I know many of us have or have had family and friends suffer from cancer. Anyone interested in going should either put their name on the SPS whiteboard or send me an email to mdevan2@students.towson.edu. A small donation is typically given, however if enough people would like to go, SPS will make a split the contribution with you. This event will take place April 20th at 7 PM at the Towson Center. Further information can be found at http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR?team_id=1070409&fr_id=41425&pg=team.
Also on April 20th, is a Physics day at Six Flags America in Laurel. SPS National is asking for volunteers for their varous demonstrations set up in the amusement park. Those that register to help out will receive a free t-shirt, lunch, and free afternoon rides at the park. Those interested in going should take a look at http://www.spsnational.org/programs/sixflags/ for more information.
The following weekend, April 28th and 29th, the SPS will be going to DC to attend the USA Science and Engineering Festival. This is huge gathering of scientific and engineering graduate programs and companies as well as national labs. Almost every subsection of physics and science in general is represented here. Last year, the SPS went and a great time was had by all. Hopefully everyone makes plans to attend this event as it could be where you land your next internship, job, or in at graduate school. The event runs from 10 AM to 5 PM on Saturday April 28th. We will meet up at the top of the Union Garage at 8:30 AM and travel to DC together. There is also a session on Sunday April 29th, which we may or may not attend depending on interest. This is definitely a worthwhile event to attend; we hope that all of you plan on attending at least Saturday, April 28th.
Though no date has been determined yet, the SPS is planning on hosting a Science cafe sometime this semester. We are open to any and all help with this event. Jack Mitchum was generous enough to provide the names and contact info for several speakers. We are still in need of a hosting site, an appropriate date and most of all INTEREST! We will advertise to all on Campus, but we will like to see members at this event, considering you guys will get the most out of this informal science discussion. More details will be announced as they are known.
And lastly, there has been mention that Hampton University will host this year's Zone 4 meeting. If this is confirmed to be true, then SPS will be attending. The information for this event will be given to us at late notice, so we do anticipate many will have made other plans for the weekend of the Zone 4 meeting. However, as with the USA Science and Engineering Festival, this is an event you don't want to miss, especially if you are in need of an idea for a capstone project. Some of the research presented might spark your imagination. More details will follow when they are known.
As always, regular meetings are held every other Tuesday at 11 AM in the SPS Lounge. The next meeting is Tuesday, March 27th at 11 AM. Plan on attending, especially if you have questions or concerns about upcoming events or if you would like to suggest another event.
Have a relaxing end to spring break and hope to see all of you at the meeting on Tuesday, March 27th at 11 AM.
Mike DeVanzo
