We&#8217;ve already arranged two guest speakers, one is a UFV alumni who&#8217;s doing his PhD in experimental particle physics at SFU!

Our goal this year is to bring people together and have some fun, in any format we can!<\/p>\n<p>We have multiple channels to connect our students. Last years&#8217; president, Emily, set up a discord group to be used by all physics and engineering students. It&#8217;s a great way to connect, ask for help, and have some laughs! We also maintain social media channels, such as Instagram and Facebook, to connect students no matter what their preferred platform is!<\/p>\n<p>Our goal at the PSA is to bring students together for social and academic events and to foster camaraderie between students.

My name is Annabelle and I am the PSA president! I\u2019m a third year physics student and I have a passion for people, learning about black holes, and making wicked projects! My favourite thing I\u2019ve made so far would have to be my Rubens\u2019 tube: a 5-foot-long metal tube that visually shows sound waves in fire! After doing a year of general studies, I decided to pursue physics and I haven\u2019t looked back since! My ideal career is something that challenges me and allows me to be around people. I plan to earn my PhD in Physics and perhaps become a professor! Feel free to give me a wave if you see me around UFV, I\u2019m the talkative one in the physics wing!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-10074 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ufv.ca\/science\/files\/2020\/09\/Garrett-scaled-e1600877301335-150x150.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ufv.ca\/science\/files\/2020\/09\/Garrett-scaled-e1600877301335-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.ufv.ca\/science\/files\/2020\/09\/Garrett-scaled-e1600877301335-45x45.jpeg 45w, https:\/\/blogs.ufv.ca\/science\/files\/2020\/09\/Garrett-scaled-e1600877301335-65x65.jpeg 65w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>Garrett Paddon<\/strong>, VP Academic<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hey everyone!

As well as the physics degree, I am also pursuing a diploma in Mechatronics. To no surprise, my choice in studies was influenced by all the things I was obsessed with as a kid; space, comic books being the biggest influences (my favorite was Iron Man). My original career path was football, which I played for eight years until an injury put me on a more academic path. My dream career is working somewhere in the defence sector to try and help keep people safe, perhaps somewhere like Boeing or Lockheed Martin. If you see me around feel free to say hi or ask a question!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-10076 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ufv.ca\/science\/files\/2020\/09\/Kaitlyn-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ufv.ca\/science\/files\/2020\/09\/Kaitlyn-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.ufv.ca\/science\/files\/2020\/09\/Kaitlyn-45x45.jpg 45w, https:\/\/blogs.ufv.ca\/science\/files\/2020\/09\/Kaitlyn-65x65.jpg 65w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>Kaitlyn Collantes<\/strong>, Treasurer<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hello, I&#8217;m Kaitlyn!
