The Chi Xi chapter of Beta Beta Beta (TriBeta) was installed at Ithaca College in 1992 and has more than 200,000 past and present members. Founded in 1922 at Oklahoma City University, TriBeta has evolved to become a nationally recognized professional honor society whose purposes are to promote scholarship in the biological sciences, growth in biological knowledge and to encourage research.
Biology Students Received an Award at the ECSC Student Conference!
Congratulations to our students for their success at the recent ECSC Student Conference!
Other Biology Presenters included:
Shreya Chopra, Jennifer Hopkins, Nathalie Panora, Kamille Smith, Greta Unetich
ECSC is The Eastern Colleges Science Conference, an association of primarily undergraduate colleges and universities. The main function of the organization is to stimulate interest in undergraduate research in the sciences and related fields and to provide a lively forum for the presentation of research papers. Students with their advisors may attend and students may present their research findings in platform or poster presentations as well as full length papers.

IC Current has the story for our recent graduate! As stated, "she credits IC’s biology and chemistry departments with giving her both the hands-on practice and classroom knowledge to be successful in the workplace."
The article in IC Current includes this "Dr. Dad" story with our graduate. Jay is an infectious disease specialist.
