Hey everyone!
Last weekend, the physics graduate student association at Auburn University continued the tradition and hosted the 8th Annual Southern Physics and Astronomy Graduate Student Symposium (SPAGSS). Some students from our physics and astronomy department were able to represent UA and give invited talks, contributed talks, and posters at this Symposium! While we were there, it was great to meet and engage with many physics and astronomy graduate students from various universities like Georgia tech, UGA, UAH, MSU and Ole Miss! Thank you so much to the PGSA at Auburn for this opportunity and we look forward to representing ourselves next year too at MSU!

Overall, it was an amazing day filled with learning, bonding, and exploration.

Hey all! We hope your Fall semester is off to a great start! SPAGGS 2025 was a smashing success and we thank all participants, attendees, and volunteers for their contributions and help.
