The Physical Sciences Division has over 9,000 graduate alumni worldwide, and we are honored to count you among them. PSD faculty frequently give Harper Lectures in cities all around the globe, and the Division hosts salon-style events where alumni and friends can engage with faculty in a more intimate setting. If you’d like to receive invitations to these events and other communications from the Division, please share your contact information with us.

Through the University of Chicago Alumni & Friends website, you can update your address, learn about events, and network with your fellow graduates of the Division and the University.

You can also stay updated on the Physical Sciences Division through our publications. We send a monthly Alumni & Friends Newsletter. The UChicago Magazine publishes science-focused stories in Inquiry online and in print. The Departments of Chemistry and Physics publish their own newsletters as well.

Please consider dropping in for a visit if you’re in the neighborhood. We’d love to see you and hear about what’s happening in your world.
