The American Physical Society’s (APS) Committee on Education has recognized the State University of New York (SUNY) at Geneseo for excellence in undergraduate physics education and supporting best practices in education. “Students are attracted to the physics department at SUNY Geneseo by the outstanding faculty, high-quality facilities, and the supportive ‘family atmosphere’ that prepare students for successful and challenging careers,” reports APS. SUNY Geneseo and LLE have enjoyed a dynamic and enduring partnership for over 20 years, during which time approximately 320 full-time equivalent summer Research Assistants from Geneseo have worked on ICF and HEDP projects. The partnership between Geneseo and LLE makes it possible for undergraduate students to participate in significant research and collaborate with scientists at world-class inertial confinement fusion/high-energy-density facilities, including the Omega Laser Facility.
