Student Opportunities
Clubs and Organizations
A campus or department is not complete unless it serves its students inside and outside the classroom. There are two student organizations that many IPFW Biology students choose to participate in – the Biology Club and our chapter of Tri-Beta.
The Biology Club is an active and fun way for students at IPFW to get to know one another. The club is run by elected officers and is supported by the faculty in the department. Meetings are held at least once a month during the fall and spring semesters with invited speakers keeping students in touch with how the principles that they are learning are being applied outside of campus. The Biology club is best known for planning and executing Fort Wayne’s annual Earth Day celebration each April.
Beta Beta Beta (Tri-Beta) is an academic society for students, dedicated to improving the understanding and appreciation of biological study and extending boundaries of human knowledge through scientific research. Members are encouraged to participate in research presentations and publishing of original work in the societies own journal.
Pharmacy Club is a great way to stay informed and active in one’s undergraduate pharmacy education. It also helps pre-pharmacy students prepare for the application process to pharmacy schools via personal experiences with all interested members. Networking opportunities are enhanced by meeting with representatives of professional programs that speak to the group about the expectations and demands of the pharmacy profession.
