Nathan Edwards Inducted into Beta Beta Beta National Honor Society

2017 Feb 2

Nathan Edwards was one of more than 30 students who were inducted into the Beta Beta Beta National Biological Honor Society during a ceremony recently held in Peterson Chapel.

Beta Beta Beta (Tri-Beta) has three major objectives: to promote scholarship in the biological sciences; to promote the dissemination of biological knowledge; and to encourage research. The symbols of the honor society are the key and coat of arms. The key represents wisdom as well as life on and in the ground, in the air, and in the water. The coat of arms represents known and unknown scientific truths. The motto is Blay'-pay-een Bah'-seen Bee'oo which means, "to see the foundation of life."

Beta Beta Beta was founded in 1922 by Dr. Frank G. Brooks, and the Elmira College Eta Sigma Chapter was founded in 1960.
