The Stony Brook University chapter of the Society of Physics Students (SPS) has been recognized as an Outstanding Chapter for the 2023-24 academic year. This marks the third consecutive year that the chapter has received this honor from the National Council of SPS.
The Society of Physics Students is a professional association open to students interested in physics and related fields, operating under the American Institute of Physics.
“This is a great and well deserved recognition, given to less than 15% of SPS chapters each year,” said Chang Kee Jung, chair of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Stony Brook University. “Congratulations once again to the SPS members! We are very proud of everything they continue to accomplish!”
The awards are based on a review process involving four members from the SPS National Council, including Zone Councilors and Associate Zone Councilors, along with staff from the SPS office. The selection considers information presented in annual reports submitted by each chapter.
Criteria for recognition include several factors specific to each zone.
