Beta Beta Beta Conventions
National registration fees help support 15
district conventions every year and the national convention every other year.
Just as the local chapter is the center of TriBeta programs, the district
convention is the most important regional project. It offers student members a
chance to report their research and to hear from outstanding graduate
investigators and teachers who give invited lectures and hold informal
discussions. Like graduate society meetings, the national conventions offer a
chance to share current research and discuss scientific issues. Field trips
have become an important part of the national convention which is often
centered around some biological feature unique to the convention locale.
Students who present papers at the national convention are eligible for
research stipends. TriBeta also helps defray travel costs by offering travel
grants to chapters attending the convention.
