INTRODUCTION

The Physics Society (PhySoc) continuously keeps pace with the scientific

and technological advances of the present times. The society upholds the

primary goal of instilling appreciation and a deeper understanding of physics to

their members and to the university as well. The society is created to assist

students of physics, and lives up to its commitment of serving side by side with

the Physics Department.

The Physics Society can be thought of as the coordinating organization in

De La Salle University (DLSU) within the Council of Student Organization

(CSO), as well as a member of the Philippines’ national physics orgazanition,

Samahaan ng Magaaral sa Pagpapaulad ng Pisika (SMPP).Its goals aim to cater

in the following areas:

Providing leadership on matters related to Physics and Physics education

to both Physics degree students and enthusiast.

Giving service to local and national students in promoting and teaching the

HIGHLIGHTS OF ACTIVITIES AND IMPROVEMENTS OF THE

ORGANIZATION

Physics Society aims to streamline its activities with the current issues in

the national scene of the Philippines as well as inside DLSU. This report

focuses on the brief highlights done on A.Y. 2013-2014. A short summary of

the identity of the organization are presented below:
