Pi Epsilon (Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: ΠΕ) is an environmental sciences Honor Society open to both graduate and undergraduate students as well as professionals and scientists working in the field. Pi Epsilon was founded at Wright State University by the Environmental Sciences PhD student body in October, 2003. The purpose of Pi Epsilon is to promote the study of environmental sciences through recognition of exemplary scholarly and professionalactivity. Environmental science is understood to be the study of our environment and all stressors acting on it; chemical, physical, and biological. The Society seeks to promote interdisciplinary studies, and interactions between industry and academia to further the study of environmental science.
As a new honor society, Pi Epsilon currently has five chapters and is in the process of expanding to several more universities throughout the United States. The five current chapters are the Alpha chapter located at Wright State University in Ohio,[1] the Beta chapter located at the University of Virginia, and the University of South Florida, as well as chapters located at Lemoyne College, and Adelphi University.
Lifetime membership is open to undergraduate and graduate students in the environmental and natural sciences who meet the following requirements:
