August Childress.
About the Recipient
Zone and Chapter: University of Central Arkansas, Zone 10
I am a senior at the University of Central Arkansas in Conway, AR, where I am pursuing a bachelors in physics with a minor in mathematics. I have been involved with SPS since 2022, and have been the president of my local chapter since 2023. Over the semesters, we have been involved in many outreach programs, demos, and events all geared towards drawing more people into the physics fold. Outside of SPS, I have been involved with supernovae and solar eclipse research since 2023. We will have our first paper published this summer in JURPA. After graduation I plan on getting a masters in mechanical engineering and pursuing a career in the automotive industry.
