Catherine Prabish awarded 2025 SPS Leadership Scholarship
Catherine Prabish.
About the Recipient
Zone and Chapter: Rhodes College, Zone 10
My name is Catherine Prabish, and I am a class of 2027 physics major at Rhodes College in Memphis, Tennessee.
From dropping nitrogen-frozen pumpkins off our physics building for our annual Pumpkin Drop to hosting regular SPS chapter meetings, I have a deep admiration for SPS. I am so lucky to have the privilege of being a member of Rhodes College’s SPS, but I am also involved in the All-Engineering Club. Recently, we sent a high-altitude balloon into space, and we are currently (2025) building an indestructible Go-Pro box for the Memphis Zoo!
This summer, I was selected to participate in St. Jude’s POE Program. I am excited to do research work in pediatric radiation oncology with hopes of pursuing medical physics as a career. Not only do I love physics, but I also play flute, crochet, read, and do puzzles in my free time. I am looking forward to continuing my involvement in SPS and spreading the physics joy!
