BPS Announces Five New Student Chapters

The Biophysical Society is pleased to announce that five new student chapters have been approved to join the BPS Student Chapter Program. We congratulate these chapters, selected by the Education Committee, and look forward to working with them to promote the field of biophysics and foster the next generation of biophys- icists. The five new Chapters, listed below, represent a variety of institutions and areas.

• Arizona Student Chapter • Mustafa Kemal University • NY Capital District • The University of Minnesota Duluth • The University of New Mexico

The goal of the BPS Student Chapter Program is to build active student chapters around the globe, increase student member- ship and participation within the Society, and promote biophysics as a discipline across college campuses through activities organized by the chapters. Students who become officers or participate in the chapters will have an opportunity to take an active leadership role within their institutions and the Biophysical Society, with special opportunities to participate in activities at future Society meetings. Chapters may be formed within a single institution, or regional chapters may be developed among multiple, neighboring insti- tutions. Recognized chapters will be reimbursed up to $200 by the Society to assist with getting started. For more information and a complete list of instructions on forming an official BPS Student Chapter visit www.biophysics.org/ StudentChapters.
