At this year's Physics Department undergraduate poster session, a new group of students was inducted into Sigma Pi Sigma, the national Physics Honor Society. Students were nominated by the Physics faculty and by the Director of Undergraduate Studies, Prof. Henry Greenside. Students were nominated based on a combination of academic excellence in physics courses, excellence in physics research, outreach to Duke or to surrounding schools related to physics, and leadership efforts on campus or within the Physics Department involving physics. Duke has one of the oldest Sigma Pi Sigma chapters in the country dating back to the 1920s. The inducted students sign their name into a book containing signatures dating back that far.
