The Duke Chapter of Sigma Xi

Founded in 1886, Sigma Xi, The Scientific Research Society is a non-profit membership society of more than 80,000 scientists and engineers who were elected to the Society because of their research achievements or potential. Sigma Xi has more than 500 chapters at universities and colleges, government laboratories and industry research centers. In addition to publishing American Scientist, Sigma Xi awards grants annually to promising young researchers, holds forums on critical issues at the intersection of science and society and sponsors a variety of programs supporting honor in science and engineering, science education, science policy and the public understanding of science.

Chapter Awards

The Duke Chapter of Sigma Xi was recently recognized by two 2008-2009 Chapter Awards at the Sigma Xi 2009 Annual Meeting.

The Chapter Program Award was given to the Duke Chapter for an outstanding program involving a partnership with WiSE to sponsor a Women's Networking Event at ScienceOnline'09.

The Certificate of Excellence was given to the Duke Chapter for chapter activity, innovative programming, and true community leadership during the past year. The Duke Chapter was one of only two chapters (the other being the Research Triangle Park Chapter) to receive both awards.
