Celebrating Five Years of SPS: A lesson in building physics outreach from scratch

It has been almost five years since SPS was revived at Drexel University. Until 2006 Drexel SPS had been inactive for two decades. In this poster we report the challenges of building a chapter from scratch and turning it into an active and award-winning group. The students are constantly involved in mentorship programs in the underserved Philadelphia school district, while regularly seeking opportunities to perform and present research. We report the various activities we have initiated, and the lessons we have learned from them.
