2010 Sigma Xi Annual Meeting & International Research Conference

November 11-14, 2010

The 111th Sigma Xi Annual Meeting will be held in Raleigh, North Carolina. Each November, Sigma Xi leaders and highly motivated college students gather to share ideas, information and camaraderie at the Sigma Xi Annual Meeting and International Research Conference. Delegates from Sigma Xi chapters decide key governance questions of the Society and attend sessions on leadership, chapter management and major issues facing the research enterprise. Concurrently, undergraduates from institutions around the world present their research, attend career-focused workshops, meet graduate school recruiters and network with Sigma Xi members. The meeting is open to members and non-members.
