History of Eta Alpha
Louisiana State University's Tri Beta chapter, Eta Alpha, was originally founded in 1988 with the goal to connect high-achieving students with an interest in the biological sciences with opportunities for undergraduate research positions. After a brief hiatus following Hurricane Gustav, the chapter was re-instated in 2014 with the mission to reunite the students and professors in the biology department. We welcome any students with interests in research, fellowship, and/or developing connections for future endeavors within this indispensible field.
