Statement

I am very proud of being a long time Sigma Xi member for more than 17 years, during the years, I have enjoyed many benefits offered by the society. I am always encouraged every time when I think of the society’s mission statement, which is to honor scientific accomplishments, to encourage and to enhance the worldwide appreciation and support of original investigation in science and technology, and to foster worldwide a creative and dynamic interaction among science, technology and society. It becomes apparent that I can do more than just being a regular member. It is indeed my obligation to participate in service within the organization. When this opportunity of serving in the Comprehensive Colleges and Universities Constituency Group was announced, I quickly came to the realization that it was time for me to help.

I do not see any challenges of serving as the Associate Director of the Comprehensive Colleges and Universities Constituency Group at Sigma Xi. I fully understand the duties and responsibilities of this associate director position. I am confident that I will devote my time and effort in support of performing this role within Sigma Xi. I obtained valuable leadership experience through serving my academic institution. I have played a leadership role of serving or guiding university committees for the past twelve years. I am currently serving as chair of Ball State university promotion and tenure committee. I was the chair of our university research committee dedicated to promote excellence in research and facilitate faculty members to obtain external funding. I also served on the university diversity committee to revise and update policies to make our university an example of an all-inclusive academic institution. I believe my experience of serving in these various leadership roles will be beneficial in how I may contribute my service, time, and effort effectively within Sigma Xi.

I joined Sigma Xi in 2004 as a Full Member. Through the years, I have guided my graduate students to understand Sigma Xi being a gateway to the real science. I have shared my copies of American Scientist with them to get updated scientific discoveries. I encourage them to participate in the Grants-in-Aid program to increase their involvement in the organization.
