Welcome to the University of Colorado Chapter of Sigma Xi

The University of Colorado chapter represents a merger with chapters at the federal research laboratories in Boulder and at the IBM laboratories in Longmont. We enjoy a diverse membership of practical and academic scientists and engineers. We encourage all interested persons to attend our meetings.

The local chapter of Sigma Xi meets at noon on a Tuesday (usually the first) in each of the months October, November, December, February, March, and April at the University Memorial Center, at NCAR, or at NOAA. Lunch starts at 11:30. We invite a local scientist to describe scientific results or scientific issues, starting about 12:15. More below about the lunch programs.
