Officially Strathclyde's Chapter of OSA
Posted: June 2008
On the 10th of June, it was agreed that the University of Strathclyde should have an official Student Chapter of the Optical Society of America.
And so it was created. It is named SCOSA (Strathclyde Chapter of OSA, pronounced Scotia), and this is its website. It's early days at the moment, so the best thing to do is to bookmark it and keep checking back.
