As you can tell if you're reading this, the UPS website is back up and will be updated over the next few days; however, we intend to phase out of using this site. All communications will eventually be done through the Wisconsin Involvement Network, so please make sure to join the club at win.wisc.edu/organization/physicsclub. An events calendar, a mechanism for mass e-mailing, contact information, the tutoring schedule, everything--will eventually be up on that site. I will continue to maintain both websites for the time being, but it would be to your benefit to join us through WIN.

Hey all,
