What is happening to SSU Physics & Astronomy?

The Department of Physics & Astronomy is slated to disappear in the cuts proposed on 1/22/25 by the SSU Administration. One of the founding departments of the University, P&A has a long, proud history of success. Over the years, our more than 500 physics graduates from this department are now working as physicists, astronomers, geophysicists, professors, pilots, teachers, and a great many engineers and computer professionals.

This is all about to end unless the community comes together to support us and to demand that the Physics degree programs be maintained.
