Biology Club
The Biology Club is a social and service organization whose goals are to bring
together students with a common interest in biology to foster fellowship through
a variety of activities. Typical activities include bi-weekly meetings, guest
speakers, movies, local service projects, picnics, and educational excursions.
This dynamic organization welcomes all undergraduate and graduate students.
See the poster board on second floor stairwell for information on meeting days and times and dues.

Pre-med Club
Pre-med students at Pitt State have many opportunities to get involved on campus
and in the community with health related volunteer projects. Pre-med students from Pitt State are contributing to the
community through the Pre-Med Club. Many members of the Pre-med Club
volunteer several hours of their time one night a week at a clinic for indigent
people. This free clinic offers valuable experience for the students who
volunteer their time and it also allows them to get to know area doctors, and
nurses.
Your academic advisors are very important to the success of your college
career. They are the people many pre-med students turn to for letters of
recommendation. They know how the medical school application process works and
they can help guide you successfully through the applications and interviews.
One important thing to remember: get to know your advisor and once you get
acquainted with him/her, continue to keep in touch with them. Your advisor may
have access to job opportunities or other information which could be used to
your advantage.

GAMMA PSI CHAPTER Beta Beta Beta
Gamma Psi Chapter inducts new members each Fall
and Spring. A requirement of membership is that each new member
prepare a short research paper for presentation at a regular chapter meeting.
The Gamma Psi Chapter of Beta Beta Beta was
installed at Pittsburg State University on February 24, 1960, with charter
membership of ten faculty and twenty students. Many of the students have gone
on to earn advanced degrees and professional positions. Of the charter
faculty, Dr. J. C. Johnson, Dr. H. A. Hays, although
retired, are still on campus. Dr. Leland Keller passed away in March 2001. Other faculty have joined as they have come to
the University, and have provided much support to the student members,
including direction of research projects conducted by chapter members. Dr.
Johnson was the original faculty advisor, later assisted for many years by Dr.
Hays and, since 1978, by Dr. J. T. Dawson, who is the present advisor. Dr.
Hays served as District Director, and Dr. Johnson as Regional Vice President
and National President of Beta Beta Beta.
 Each year Gamma Psi Chapter sponsors its own Lemanski
Award, given to the student at Pittsburg State University who has best met
stipulated criteria of excellence in the biological sciences at the
University. Originally called the Tri-Beta Honorary Award, it was renamed in
memory of Tonya Hapgood Lemanski, a beloved early chapter member. Recent
recipients include Brad Word, Nancy Brooker, Pam Harrison, Stephanie Shear,
David Li, Sarah Johnson, and Darren Ryder. |
