| Proposal Title: | Supporting Non-Traditional Students: How Chapters and Clubs Make an Impact |
|---|---|
| Abstract Type: | Poster |
| Abstract: | Non-traditional students can have a hard time finding community when entering higher education. Traveling the non-traditional path means that they may not have the time or resources to build the same types of social connections as traditional students. Chapters and clubs, like the Society of Physics students, and honors societies like Sigma Pi Sigma can serve as a launch pad for social connection for non-traditional students. These connections can be vital to success, as they form the nucleus of many study groups, and help facilitate a more cohesive student cohort, better performance, and a stronger and more enjoyable connection to physics. This poster will discuss ways that clubs and societies can create a culture of peer-mentorship, and other opportunities that they provide to strengthen the department. |
