What is the Small College Plasma Consortium?

A coalition of faculty, students, and plasma researchers who hail primarily from teaching colleges, primarily undergraduate, and liberal-arts institutions, and/or departments.

What is a Small College in this context?

The notion of a small college in plasma science is not strictly defined, but rather an institution that would greatly benefit from the resources and community provided by the SCPC. Some features of small colleges could be:

1) Primarily-Undergraduate Institutions (PUIs) – Can be large by population, but teaching/undergrad focused

2) Liberal Arts College – Focus on well-rounded education, generally small department, no or very small grad program

3) Undergraduate-only major/department – A department at a graduate-granting university that doesn’t have a grad program

4) Departments with a solitary plasma faculty member

5) NOT an R1, but R2 could count
