Tri-Beta @ BGSU
The Alpha Beta chapter of Tri-Beta (Beta Beta Beta National Biological Honor Society) was founded at Bowling Green State University in 1952. Tri-Beta is an organization for students committed to promoting the understanding and appreciation of biology and gaining knowledge in the life sciences through scientific investigation. Tri-Beta intends to enrich knowledge learned in the classroom by supplementing it with opportunities to exchange ideas and information with others who share an interest in the biological sciences.
