Our Barry Chapter of Tri-Beta was established in 1980. The Tri-Beta National Honor Society was founded in 1922 by Dr. Frank G. Brooks. It is devoted to scholarship, research, and service in the biological sciences. All three may be summed up in one word BIOS, meaning life. AMSA, the American Medical Student Association, is a national organization of medical students and undergraduate pre-medical students.
Membership is open to anyone with an interest in medicine as a profession.
Our students participate in the co-ed BioClones flag football team and other intramural sports teams, including soccer, basketball, and softball. The PreVet Interest Group welcomes any Barry student interested in veterinary medicine. We meet several times each semester. Activities include cookouts, visits to veterinary and wildlife rehabilitation facilities, and outdoor trips observing animals. Sigma Xi, The Scientific Research Society, sponsors an annual student research forum in conjunction with the Department of Psychology.
