Presentations are free and the public is welcome.
History - After much discussion, and with some divergent opinions among the members of the local chapter, the first Sigma Xi Graduate Research Symposium was organized in 1979 under the direction of James Gano. At that time, a second, separate award was added so that both a masters and a doctoral presenter would be recognized. Through the next few years, the symposium became well recognized and accepted by the members. In 1982, Max Funk assumed the chairmanship of the symposium. Through a vigorous publicity campaign, the number of participants tripled that year.
