SUNY Students Inducted into Sigma Pi Sigma Honor Society

Two SUNY Oneonta students were inducted into Sigma Pi Sigma, the Physics and Astronomy Honor Society, on Saturday, April 25, during the Physics & Astronomy's Spring 2026 Recognition and Awards picnic ceremony held at College Camp.

Undergraduate candidates must have completed at least three semesters of full-time college work and at least three semester courses in physics and astronomy that can be credited toward a physics and astronomy major.

Sigma Pi Sigma exists to honor outstanding scholarship in physics and astronomy, to encourage interest in physics and astronomy among students at all levels, to promote an attitude of service, and to provide a fellowship of persons who have excelled in physics and astronomy. Founded in 1921, Sigma Pi Sigma is a member honor society of the Association of College Honor Societies. Election to Sigma Pi Sigma is a lifetime membership. A local charter was granted to the university in 1975.

These students join an elite group of students from SUNY Oneonta's Physics and Astronomy program who have accepted Sigma Pi Sigma's invitation and its vast network of over 100,000 scientists, educators and advocates.
