Welcome to the Minnesota Chapter of Sigma Xi! The Minnesota chapter is made up of over 300 members who range from undergraduate students beginning their scientific careers to professional scientists living throughout the state. The main objective of the Minnesota Sigma Xi chapter is to encourage and reward scientific research in our community. Each year our chapter recognizes excellence in scientific research through a series of monetary awards. Although both of these efforts are directed primarily at undergraduate and graduate students, we are always looking for new ways to work with local school teachers, postdoctoral researchers, and professional scientists. Your feedback as members is always appreciated, and suggestions for new programs and activities are always welcome!
