Finally, the Chapter has in the words of Student President Sharma, “developed a culture of volunteer-ship in their group.”

“Our students deserve all the credit for this recognition,” said Dr. Sunny Tam, who is the chapter adviser and coordinator of the University’s Professional Science Masters (PSM) program in Biotechnology. “They have worked very hard and remained extremely engaged with the organization.”

The Chapter was originally organized in 2017 and since then student memberships have been steadily growing due in part to the leadership of Dr. Tam, as well as participation of Industry Liaison Rick Kotosky of Exyte Group.
