Honoree Plaza

Sigma Xi members and chapters, as well as friends and other organizations, have provided support for the Sigma Xi Center. The Society gratefully acknowledges these important donors in the Honoree Plaza.
Many supporters have chosen to make their gifts in honor of those who had an important influence on their lives and careers. The names of some honorees are linked to tributes provided by donors. 

Major gifts are acknowledged on plaza benches.  Gifts of $1,000 or more are acknowledged on pavers.  Installation of commemorative pavers will continue as long as space is available. For more information, contact the Development Office for more details.
