The following is a list of student groups, professional societies, activities, and UO programs relevant to the interests of PhysGrads. Feel free to request access to edit this page (by emailing the List/Web Master) and include your own favorite groups! Oftentimes, groups of PhysGrads will arrange their own activities (such as book clubs, climbing clubs, soccer, etc). These may be advertised over the PhysGradList email list, or spread by word of mouth. The best way to find others that share your interests are to talk to other PhysGrads!
