Tri-Beta (ßßß Biological Honor Society) is a national organization (National Tri-Beta Constitution) whose purpose is to honor biology students that have achieved high scholastic standards, to stimulate interest, scholarly attainment and investigation in the biological sciences, and to promote the dissemination of information and new interpretations among students of the life sciences. Our chapter holds meetings and serve $2 lunch at noon on the first and third Wednesday of every month in room 110 of the Science Building.

    Tri-Beta Convention
    Convention is an annual event held at the Oklahoma Biological Field Station in Kingston, Oklahoma on Lake Texoma. Convention gives students a chance to present research, hear research from undergraduates, graduate students, and professors with very diverse interests, and meet fellow Tri-Beta members around Texas! If you are interested in either presenting a poster or doing an oral presentation, please see our faculty advisor, Dr. Sanderford (sanderford@tarleton.edu). Research presentations are strongly encouraged for both undergraduate and graduate students. Both student research and presentations look very good on applications!! In addition, our Tri-Beta scrapbook will also be presented and judged for various awards.
