Our Giving Day Priority 

This year on Giving Day, we're highlighting The Society of Physics Students (SPS) at NAU—a student-led organization on the Flagstaff Mountain Campus. 

This group is dedicated to making physics more accessible, exciting, and hands-on for students of all experience levels.

After being shut down during the pandemic, SPS relaunched in Spring 2024, and their growth has been incredible! Through weekly meetings, faculty guest speakers, physics demos, and networking opportunities, this group helps students explore their passions and discover new pathways in STEM. 

SPS strives to open doors, build connections, and inspire future innovators. When you make a gift to SPS on Giving Day, your generosity elevates this mission!

Your Gift Fuels Discovery

Your donation to the Society of Physics Students supports...

  • Free travel for members
  • Funds for campus demos & hands-on events
  • Making physics more accessible to all students

Every dollar supports opportunities that ignite curiosity and make science feel like a place where everyone belongs.
