Physics Graduate Student Association

The UConn Physics Graduate Student Association is a social and academic group composed of graduate students in our department. Our purpose is to foster a vibrant community for our graduate students and the department. We coordinate special events at UConn in Storrs for physics graduate students, including Halloween parties, monthly game nights, and special graduate student seminar series lectures. For information about different activities or suggest new ones, please contact the officers listed here. Feel free to email pgsa@uconn.edu with any questions or suggestions!
