SIGMA-XI TUESDAY TALKS

Sigma Xi, the Scientific Research Society, meets regularly for DIV III talks and a complimentary lunch throughout the year. Talks are open to all faculty, staff and students. Talks are held on Tuesdays 12:20-1:00 pm. Due to construction in McConnell, Fall 2023 talks will be held in Ford 240. A complimentary lunch is offered outside of Ford 240- available around 12:10 to first 30 attendees (first come, first serve)
