Chapter Events

Events are an important element of Sigma Xi membership and provide a way to share ideas and perspectives within the cross-disciplinary community of Sigma Xi.

Sigma Xi holds open meetings each month during the academic year and hosts additional events throughout the year. Sigma Xi uses a rotating event calendar, if there was an event offered in 2021-2022 that you enjoyed, it will most likely be offered again in 2023-2024.
