Thirteen OLLU students in Biology and Environmental Science and Sustainability, along with three Biology faculty members, traveled to Indianapolis, Indiana, from March 25–29 to attend the 2026 National Convention of the Sigma Zeta Science and Mathematics Honor Society, hosted by Marian University and the University of Indianapolis.
All thirteen students in attendance served on a Sigma Zeta convention committee and eight of the students delivered either poster or oral presentations. The trip gave students the opportunity to share their work, connect with undergraduates and professors from other institutions, and take part in the broader national scientific community.
In addition, Prof Adam Bynum was elected as President of Sigma Zeta and will serve in that role on the Sigma Zeta National Executive Board in 2026-2027.
