Tau Chapter joined the San Diego Science Alliance, a non-profit volunteer organization dedicated to supporting science literacy and education, and through this affiliation became a founding partner in a group called Be WiSE (Better Education for Women in Science and Engineering). Please join us either as a guest or a member for our next meeting?
