SIGMA Xi Events

Our primary events include talks by a featured guest speaker with a dinner and induction ceremony.  Guest speakers communicate their insights and excitement to the community at large. Dinner is open to Sigma Xi members and lectures are open to the public.

In the fall,  the Swarthmore College Chapter of Sigma Xi sponsors a Poster Session. At this poster session, students are encouraged to present their research, particularly if they have engaged in research during the previous summer, either on or off campus. Participation in the poster session is a way to share research experiences and findings with the broader college community. It also makes a presenter eligible to be nominated to Sigma Xi (our chapter covers the initial membership fee). 

We host a Strawberry Festival at the end of May with a short presentation by a College scientist where Sigma Xi members, students and the public have an opportunity to hear exceptional talks and to ask questions of experts.
