Organizations and Societies

Student Organizations

The Biology Department supports four student organizations: the Health Careers Club, the American Society of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry (ASBMB), the Public Health and Nutrition Club, and the Chi Kappa Chapter of the Beta Beta Beta National Biological Honor Society. These four organizations give biology students opportunities to work closely with faculty while engaging in research that benefits the department and the greater Suffolk community.

Beta Beta Beta Biological Honor Society

Beta Beta Beta is an honor and professional society primarily for students of the biological sciences. Its goals include promoting student research, publication, and exposure to current biological scholarship and career possibilities. Regular membership is offered to majors in the biological sciences who have completed at least one term of the sophomore year (including three Biology courses) with a 3.0 average in Biology and an overall average of 2.75.
