President - Camella Nasr
My name is Camella (Cami) Nasr and I am a 5th year PhD student in the Department of Physics and Astronomy.

I am an advocator for the LGBTQ+, African American & Disability communities, and a promoter for safe mental health.
Director of Outreach - Zane Ronau
I was born and raised in Louisville, and I grew up getting out of school early on Thurby before it had a name to go to Churchill downs with my Family. I have always been interested in Physics and Mathematics and was fortunate to have the opportunity to travel to Otterbein University for my undergraduate degrees in those subjects. Coming home in 2021, I married my wife, Jade, and began to pursue my PhD in Physics at the University of Louisville. I am eager to continue to grow in this experience and serve my fellow students!
