Pi Epsilon

Pi Epsilon

Pi Epsilon is the nation's premier National Environmental Sciences Honor Society and the only National Environmental Sciences Honor Society open to both graduate and undergraduate students as well as professionals and scientists working in the field of environmental science. Pi Epsilon was founded at Wright State University by the Environmental Sciences PhD student body in October, 2003. The purpose of Pi Epsilon is to promote the study of environmental sciences through recognition of exemplary scholarly and professional activity. Environmental science is understood to be the study of our environment and all stressors acting on it; chemical, physical, and biological. The Society seeks to promote interdisciplinary studies, and interactions between industry and academia to further the study of environmental science.

As a new honor society, Pi Epsilon currently has two chapters and is in the process of expanding to several more universities throughout the United States. The two current chapters are the [http://www.wright.edu/academics/envsci/pages/piepsilon.htm Alpha Chapter] located at Wright State University in Ohio and the Beta Chapter located at the University of Virginia.

Information on starting a chapter at your institution, the Society's constitution and bylaws, and links to other chapters, may be found at Pi Epsilon's website, at [http://www.piepsilon.org www.piepsilon.org] .
