Tuesday Evening Physics
The Department of Physics at the University of South Alabama announces the Tuesday Evening Physics program. The program will present a broader physics topic including classical physics and modern physics. There are six sessions. We will present beginning September 30, 2025. The sessions are free of charge and open to high school students as well as teachers and parents. Each session will be held in Room 240 in Mathematical Sciences and Physics Building (MSPB), 411 University Boulevard, North, USA. It will begin at 7:00 p.m. and end by 8:00 p.m. Refreshments will be provided. Students are encouraged to arrive at least 15 minutes before the program stars.
