The Physical Sciences Division is a vibrant community composed of students, faculty, and staff from around the world. Our success is built on collaborative relationships and our strength lies in our diverse perspectives. When the University of Chicago shifted to remote learning in the 2020-2021 academic year and we were all physically distanced, People of PSD gave students small glimpses into each other’s lives to remind one another of the rich variety of experiences in the PSD. Due to the popularity of this initiative, we are continuing the People of PSD photo contests during the 2022-2023 academic year.
The photos below have been submitted to our People of PSD photo contests. Please feel free to browse and participate in future contests. The winners will receive a small care package from the Dean of Students Office.
Current students are encouraged to submit an entry to the photo contest (see your email for details) or vote on submissions (please limit to one vote per person).
