Alma Biology Club and Beta Beta Beta

The Alma College Biology Club (ABC) and the Beta Beta Beta National Honor Society

From the National website:   

“Beta Beta Beta (TriBeta) is a society for students, particularly undergraduates, dedicated to improving the understanding and appreciation of biological study and extending boundaries of human knowledge through scientific research. Since its founding in 1922, more than 200,000 persons have been accepted into lifetime membership, and more than 520 chapters have been established throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.”

Alma College has had a continuously running chapter of BBB since the 1950s, and welcomes both national members (application process and national induction dues) and local members who do not yet meet the national qualifications or are more interested in an informal membership (as ABC members).

The twin organization (ABC/BBB) maintains a bulletin board in DOW Lobby, where the latest news and meeting times are posted. Please contact an officer or Mr. Mike Bishop (bishop@alma.edu, 7061) or stop by his office in DOW 213A for more information.

 

The Alma College Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) team claimed its eighth consecutive regional championship at the SIFE USA Regional Competition in March 2008. The competition awards the SIFE teams that are most effective in teaching the principals of market economics through outreach projects in their communities.
