Welcome to the Northern Illinois University Physics Graduate Student Association website! Every graduate student in the NIU Department of Physics is a member and we welcome involvement from undergraduates, post-doctoral researchers, faculty, and staff members.
Purpose
The PGSA is an organization intended to promote the welfare of all physics graduate students to improve communication, combat feelings of isolation, advocate for fair and equal treatment and representation of both women and minority students, improve access to department and university-owned physics textbooks and tools, provide a network for professional/academic betterment, and help all students face the various qualification exams in a healthy and professional manner.
