Students Inducted in TriBeta National Biological Honor Society
Elmira, NY (03/11/2022) — The Eta Sigma Chapter of Beta Beta Beta National Biological Honor Society held their 2022 induction ceremony on Saturday, Feb. 12. There were eight inductees for regular membership and 13 inductees for associate membership, all of whom met the membership requirements.
Beta Beta Beta (TriBeta) has three major objectives: (1) to promote scholarship in the biological sciences, (2) to promote the dissemination of biological knowledge, and (3) 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 "Blepein basin biou" 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. The current faculty advisor is Dr. Amy Lyndaker. The ceremony was led by this year's TriBeta officers, including: President Alexis Wyckoff '23, Vice President Jenna Heiser '23, Secretary Felicity Brockhuizen '22, Historian Paige Stilts '23, and Public Relations officer Alicia Johnson '22.
