Seven students inducted into Sigma Pi Sigma

The Department of Physics is thrilled to announce the induction of seven undergraduate students into Sigma Pi Sigma, this Spring.  Sigma Pi Sigma exists to honor outstanding scholarship in physics; to encourage interest in physics among students at all levels; to promote an attitude of service of its members towards their fellow students, colleagues, and the public; to provide a fellowship of persons who have excelled in physics.  Sigma Pi Sigma’s mission is not completed in the induction ceremony with the recognition of academic accomplishment. In the four dimensions of Honor, Encouragement, Service, and Fellowship, the mission of Sigma Pi Sigma takes a longer view.  Founded in 1921, Sigma Pi Sigma is a member honor society of the Association of College Honor Societies.  The society has 75,000 historical members.  Election to Sigma Pi Sigma is a lifetime membership.
