  • Whitman College-Walla Walla University Sigma Xi chapter is going inactive

    To all current members of the local Whitman College-Walla Walla University Sigma Xi chapter:

    Our local Sigma Xi chapter has a long history of promoting science among both faculty and students at our two colleges. However, it seems that an increasingly large number of our local scientists are focusing their attention on specific societies related to their areas of research rather than societies like Sigma Xi that have a broader research emphasis. Our local chapter has been declining in membership for some time and currently has only a handful of members left. Therefore our local Sigma Xi chapter officers have decided that our best approach would be to go "inactive" while encouraging current members to continue membership in scientific societies more directly related to their research interests. The local chapter has a few thousand dollars saved up for local activities. We plan to use this money to provide research support to several students on both campuses, then cease local activities. If any current member wants to take over leadership and try to revive our local chapter instead please contact me at david.cowles@wallawalla.edu
