Physics Society
Physoc is a society primarily concerned with the welfare of all physics undergraduates at the University of Southampton, though our doors are open to all who apply. We organise academic & careers talks, mentoring schemes, outreach programmes, socials, sports events and more, in order to ensure that our members enjoy and make the most of their time at university. Our society is not confined to undergraduates, but includes postgrads, post-docs, and staff. Check out our webpage for more info!
The Committee
All clubs and societies within the Students' Union are run entirely by students. The student committee for Physics Society this year are:
President
- Overall responsibility for performing physics
Vice-President/Treasurer
- Responsible for the groups very small amount of money and a back up option if the president ever goes insane
Welfare Officer
- Officer in charge of the Physoc mentoring scheme, pairing mentors with mentees to help everyone feel supported, connected, and a little less lost in the physics department. Because sometimes you just need someone to talk physics with.
Actual Webmaster
- In charge of the flimsy glue holding the committee's tech together
Careers Officer
- In charge of helping physicists figure out what to do with their physics degree after spending three years asking, “But when will I ever use this?”
Chief of Staff - Secretary
- Keeps Physoc organised, records what happened in meetings, and generally tries to stop the committee from descending into complete chaos.
Outreach Officer
- In charge of organising Phun Physics activities for people outside the society
Promotion Officer
Social Secretary
- One half of a party-tacular duo who organise events to make sure we go outdoors and talk to people
