Purchase College Chapter
About Sigma Xi
Sigma Xi, The Scientific Research Society, is an international honor
society with over 70,000 active members. Membership is by invitation and
is limited to research scientists and engineers. Sigma Xi chapters are found
at colleges and universities as well as government and corporate research
laboratories. The Purchase College Chapter received its charter in 1997.
The chapter currently has over 50 Members and Associate Members
who are students, faculty, and professional staff of Purchase College as
well as residents of the surounding community.Chapter Programs
Our chapter hosts Faculty Lectures
each academic year, and co-sponsors one of the lectures in the Natural and Social
Sciences Lecture Series. All lectures are free and open to the public.
The chapter is also a co-sponsor of the Natural and Social Sciences Student
Symposium, and chapter members are actively involved in a number of college
programs supporting undergraduate research, such as the NIH Bridges Program .
Each year, the Sigma
Xi Award is given to a number of Purchase undergraduates who have demonstrated
above average aptitude for scientific research. Award winners are nominated
for Associate Membership in Sigma Xi and receive public acknowledgement of
their achievements; the chapter pays their initiation fees and dues for the
first year of membership. An honor society for students in the School of
Natural and Social Sciences is in the planning stages.Announcements and Events
