Student Activities

JU has an active chapter of the Society of Physics Students (SPS), a national professional organization. The JU chapter has been recognized as an outstanding chapter for several years. Chapter activities include trips to view shuttle launches, serving as host for SPS zone meetings, tours of research and development companies in the Jacksonville and Orlando areas, and conducting "star parties" at the JU Observatory.

Students also may participate in chapter activities of Sigma Pi Sigma, the national physics honor society. Since 1970, the JU chapter has elected more than 200 members to Sigma Pi Sigma.
