Formerly known as the SPIE/Optica/IAAA Student Chapter, the objective of the Photonics Student Society is to:
- Promote awareness of the optical science and optical engineering among the academic and local communities,
- Serve as a means of communication and interaction between students, faculty, and administration,
- Establish interaction between students and local sections and national headquarters of the Optical Society of America and SPIE, and
- Broaden the student’s insight of post-graduate opportunities.
