Sundial
A partnership with the School of Earth & Space Exploration, Sundial is a mentorship program that pairs incoming students with upper-level undergraduate and graduate mentors for constant support and personal perspective. Use the mentorship program to build your sense of community at ASU in your early years, and then volunteer to be a mentor yourself, and pay it forward to a new group of incoming students.
The Society of Physics Students
This is a national society with a thriving chapter at ASU. Members support one another both in and out of the classroom, collaborating and mentoring fellow students and celebrating personal accomplishments. Society members also share their passion for the sciences through outreach programs - visiting local schools and volunteering at University events to share demonstrations on a variety of physics topics.
