The Physics Olympiad relies on the dedication, hard work, and courtesy of students, faculty and staff in planning, developing, and conducting the event. The Society of Physics Students enthusiastically supports the Olympiad. They have designed the Physics Olympiad Logo, and are invovled with developing, testing, and judging events. We gratefully acknowledge support by the Society of Women in Physics (SWIP), who has designed and who runs the Pasta Bridge event. We gratefully acknowledge technical advice and website support from the Office of Computing Services. Many volunteers are Physics undergraduate students, graduate students, post-docs and staff who contribute some of their time to make the Olympiad a success. We know how precious their time is for education, research, and professional activities, and are thankful for their support.
