Physics Org Earns Distinguished Award

Truman’s chapter of the Society of Physics Students has been recognized as a 2021 Distinguished Chapter by the SPS National Office.

Chapter awards are determined each academic year after a careful review of the information presented in chapter reports. Factors taken into consider include the chapter’s involvement in local, zone and national SPS meetings and other professional meetings; participation in SPS programs; outreach efforts to the grades K-12 or the general public; participation in community service; contributions to student recruitment and retention; participation in social events; and interactions with the department’s alumni.

Truman’s chapter was one of three in its zone recognized with a Distinguished Chapter Award and was joined by those at the University of Missouri and Oklahoma State University.
