Deedee Jansen

My name is Deedee Jansen, and I am an engineering physics major with a math and theater minor at Austin College. Although Austin College is a small liberal arts school, I have had the opportunity to hold many leadership positions on campus. I am the SPS chapter, the theater honor society president, and a VP of two other clubs. Additionally, I am in charge of the Resident Assistants and a Teaching Assistant for the physics department. Perhaps the most dorky of all, I am the student coordinator for the Improv Troupe. Participating in these many clubs has given me the skills to communicate, think on my feet, and learn how SPS can collaborate with many organizations. I'm passionate about sharing science outside of the lab and showing how wonderful it is with students of other career paths. My chapter of SPS has run events with Greek life, the local Girl Scout chapter, and the Environmental Activism Club on campus, just to name a few. Society of Physics Students shows how science and physics impact every realm of life and, inversely, how every realm of life affects physics. Society of Physics Students allows physics to exit the laboratory and enter people's lives.
