The promotion of Optics and Photonics to the community shall be made through educational outreach to local High Schools and Middle School Students. Furthermore, our organization is required to maintain a faculty mentor from the Electrical and Engineering Department. Part of the directive of the Photonics Club at UC San Diego is to assist its members in attending conferences in order to learn about the latest advents in Optics and Photonics and network with students, researchers, professors and professionals in the industry so as to facilitate the growth in this community. An additional goal is to mentor its members in academia by providing support in an understanding of optics and photonics and by providing assistance in the presentation and publication of their research.
