FEB 23, 2010

Fifteen Society of Physics Students (SPS) chapters have received 2010 Marsh W. White Outreach Awards to help fund public outreach projects this year. Marsh W. White Awards are made to SPS chapters “to support projects designed to promote interest in physics among students and the general public.”

Funds for the program come from the Sigma Pi Sigma physics honor society, which operates within SPS. The awards, which were first made in 1975, were named in honor of Dr. Marsh W. White for his long years of service to Sigma Pi Sigma and SPS. Dr. White served as Executive Secretary (1930-67), President (1968-70), and Historian (1970-90) of Sigma Pi Sigma.
