Sigma Xi Honor Society
Sigma Xi Honor Society
Sigma Xi is an international scientific research honor society and one of the oldest and most prestigious honor societies in the world. Our chapter at Providence College was founded in 2008. In addition to nominating student researchers for Sigma Xi membership, our students have organized an annual research poster session in the fall and a banquet in the spring, and we have also supported students and faculty presenting at the society’s annual meeting.
Sigma Xi membership is open to students in any discipline who have conducted research in a field of pure or applied science, including the social sciences, health sciences, mathematics, neuroscience, history of science, STEM pedagogy, engineering, and the natural sciences. All Providence College students interested in and participating in research are welcome to join the chapter and be nominated for honor society membership.

How to Get Involved with Research
Reach out to faculty, look out for funding announcements from the PC Center for Engaged Learning and the Walsh Fellowships for summer research. Students are also encouraged to participate in RI-INBRE summer research and to find out about opportunities all over the country through the National Science Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates (NSF REU) programs.
