The Stanford Optical Society is Stanford's student chapter of the OSA and SPIE professional societies in optics and photonics.  Help host seminars, plan social activities, organize science outreach events, or assist with the Stanford University Photonics Retreat!  No prior experience is necessary. There will be a transition period for all new officers and committee volunteers.  Serving on the Executive Board or as a Committee Member is a great way to gain leadership experience, and provides many opportunities to interact with industry researchers, distinguished faculty, and optics students at Stanford and around the world.

We will be holding elections for the following positions:
