Clubs

ULV Chemistry Club is the La Verne chapter of the American Chemical Society (ACS), which strives to educate students on the various applications of chemistry. By providing a variety of events and demonstrations, chemistry club aims to engage students so that they may be encouraged to seek further education and provide service to their community. The American Chemical Society is one of the largest scientific societies that aims to help individuals in education, careers, and community service. As the ULV chapter, chemistry club will serve as a bridge to a large community of chemists that embark on regional and national events, showcasing research and other important findings.

Our cybersecurity club, CySec, is dedicated to providing  our members with a safe, empowering, and uplifting environment to thrive in the STEM fields of study and industry. We hope to introduce more students at the university to the field of cybersecurity, and have more students consider it as their field of choice.

Cybersecurity is a rapidly advancing field that currently does not have the manpower to keep up with the constant threats and attacks. Our club is dedicated to leveraging the University’s resources and equipping students with as many resources and connections as possible during their time at the University of La Verne.

We are currently working on 3 projects:

– 3D printing and coding the flight control system of a drone.

– Computer Vision: Use the camera on the drone to follow a person and recognize positions of objects in environment.

– Mind controlled Drone: We read the brain waves with an OpenBCI device and filter raw data to individual thoughts/movements, to then connect them to specific drone movements.

If you have another project to take please feel free to contact us 🙂

Physics is the study of the world at its most fundamental level. It is the foundation of all scientific disciplines, and as such is the most diverse field of scientific inquiry. Physicists study the structure of subatomic particles and the evolution of galaxies, model climate change and brain processes, and work at the cutting edge of developing technologies such as nuclear fusion, nanotechnology, quantum optics, and spintronics. The dozens of subfields within physics attest to how far-reaching physics is in our technological society.

The Physics Department at the University of La Verne offers a unique and rigorous educational environment in which students receive personalized attention from trained and experienced faculty. The Department offers a Bachelor of Science, a Bachelor of Arts and a minor in physics. Physics majors may also choose to pursue the 3-2 Dual Degree Engineering Program allowing them to obtain an engineering degree in addition to their physics degree in 5 years. The Department also offers a biomedical physics option for majors interested in continuing on to medical school, medical physics or biophysics and a teaching option for majors interested in a career in teaching physics.

Women in Physics is a club for all. We are an advocacy group for the support of women in the sciences and for those wanting to go in to the sciences. Our club is for those interested in helping others succeed while also learning some new things. We are here to help each other on our campus as well as others in the community. Our club is open to all students, faculty, staff, and community members.

Our club meetings focus on how physics and other sciences affect our daily lives with fun activities that don’t always feel like learning in order to promote the sciences. We do so in order to build interest and support within this field without giving obligation of prior knowledge.

As an academic club and nationally recognized chapter, we strive to perform a multitude of tasks. The club is not strictly open to physics majors but anybody in a stem related field or who wants to learn more about physics. Tutoring sessions are put on alongside trying to do outreach as well. We work closely with the Women in Physics club to create joint events and we will continue to host events that engage the student body in physics-related activities.
