On February 10, 2021, the National Council of the Society of Physics Students (SPS) and of Sigma Pi Sigma, the physics honor society, have voted to approve the following statement for general dissemination. Undergraduate Physics and Astronomy students from over 300 chapters self-identified mental health as one of the most important issues they face at the 2019 Physics Congress. The well-being of all students is a primary concern to us as we aim to serve all undergraduate physics and astronomy students.
Chapter reports are a prime opportunity to showcase the activities of your chapter! Reflecting on the year’s events is important for the health, success and growth of your chapter. By looking back on your year, you will remember things to celebrate and keep for next year, and also see areas for improvement. In addition, your report and chapter information update is very important for the records of the SPS national office in the development of the annual SPS Information Handbook and new programs. Please take the time to tell us all about SPS (and Sigma Pi Sigma) at your school.

SPS is excited to announce that we will be hosting another creative competition for our members. Create an original physics meme and submit it to the Google Form, where we'll collect them and post them on April 24 (Physics Day!) to be voted on our Instagram, @SPSNational.
All memes must be submitted by 4 PM EST on Friday, April 23, 2021 to be considered.
The Berkeley chapter has a fantastic itinerary planned, and although it's disappointing that we won't be able to meet in person this year, I think this can be a great opportunity for collaboration and engagement across chapters in our zone.
