Student Organizations
Texas Academy of
Science is a state-wide
professional organization promoting excellence in scientific
research and dissemination of scientific information. Students
can gain membership, attend conferences, present research
results, meet research scientists at other institutions,
publish papers, and win scholarships. T.A.S at St. Edward's
has an active social branch organizing picnics and camping
trips every semester.
Women in Science is an organization
within St. Edward's which supports undegraduates in the
sciences by putting them in touch with mentors in the
community. Undergraduates are paired with professionals
in their field who nurture the students, and introduce
them to potential employers in their field. W.I.S. members
themselves mentor younger women in middle school by sponsoring
and coordinating on-campus visits to encourage their continued
interest in the sciences. W.I.S. also runs several fundraisers
centered around holidays such as Halloween and Valentine's
Day. |
