Join the HPS Mentorship and Student Support Committees for the fourth annual Speed Networking event!
We're delighted to host this dynamic and engaging activity to connect students and early career professionals with more experienced individuals within the HPS. Please stop by after the Exhibit Hall Luncheon on Monday, July 24 for an opportunity to meet other HPs who share your interests, find a new mentor/mentee, seek out the bright new talent in our field, exchange business cards, or all of the above! Everyone is welcome at this event.

Come join the Health Physics Discord for board games and connect with your colleagues! Feel free to bring your own games or play some of ours, including Settlers of Catan, Betrayal at Baldur’s Gate, Hanabi, and CDC’s “This is a T.E.S.T. CRC”. The Health Physics discord server was originally started as a way for folks studying for Parts 1 and 2 of the CHP exam to share study tips and resources. As people have passed the exam, the server has grown into a small community of health physicists sharing news and job postings, getting advice, and talking about HP topics. Join the Discord at: discord.gg/wmVqXTZAFe

Do you want to be more involved in the HPS and the Student Support Committee? We could always use volunteers to help plan and run our events, come up with new ideas to engage and support HPS student members, and act as student representatives of the Society. Our committee meeting is open to all who want to get involved or students who would like to become a committee member!
