Sigma Xi (Xi is pronounced
with a "Z" sound—"Zi"—as in "xylophone") was founded in 1886 to
honor excellence in scientific investigation and encourage a sense
of companionship and cooperation among researchers in all fields
of science and engineering.
You'll find that spirit
alive in the ASU chapter. Our focus, reflecting the goals of The
New American University, is to
- build a transdisciplinary
network of researchers on campus,
- improve science education,
- support student research,
and
- promote the public's
understanding of science for the purpose of improving the human
condition.
The ASU chapter has nearly
300 active members. Our members include undergraduate students,
graduate students, academic professionals, professors, and professional
scientists living in the area. Our primary activities include
- a Fall and Spring
luncheon,
- an Annual Banquet
to induct new members and present awards,
- and the granting
of five $400 grant-in-aid awards to undergraduate and graduate
students.
We would welcome the
addition of other events to give members more opportunities to meet
and develop opportunities for collaboration. If you have a suggestion
for events, please contact one of the officers
below.
For more information
on the National Program, visit the Sigma
Xi website.
We
welcome you to join this network of researchers by participating
in our programs.
