ECOS: Environmentally Concerned Organization of Students

Faculty Advisors:
Allison ParkerÌý |Ìý Yingying Xie

Ìý |Ìý Contact Us

Mission:

Create a healthy and more equitable planet for everyone by:

  • Raising awareness about local and global environmental issues
  • Learning more about environmental issues
  • Actively working on sustainability initiatives through projects, events, and educational campaigns on campus and in the community.

We are primarily Environmental Science majors, but we highly encourage students (and faculty) from other disciplines to get involved in forming collaborative partnerships throughout the University and the community. Environmental solutions require expertise from many disciplines and will be beneficial to student's overall University experience.

We try to work with the University faculty and the community to develop projects that will protect the environment while providing essential functions within the University and community. We believe that projects developed by students that will maintain a visual presence on the campus and in the community while performing a practical function will have a greater impact on the future of our collective environment by giving an alternative to traditional progress, and therefore serve a very important educational purpose.

If you are a faculty member, a student, or a citizen in the community please consider supporting and joining ECOS.

We always encourage feedback from the community, students and especially educational institutions about opinions, aspirations, and/or potential student projects that can be conducted by students at our University.

ECOS is open to all students and faculty!

Contact Us

The easiest way to contact ECOS is to send us and email at ecos@nku.edu. Feel free to send questions, or ask to be added to our email list. You can also meet us in person by attending one of our meetings, one of our frequent bake sales on the second floor of the SC building, or our annual Earth Day event.

Mission:

Beta Beta Beta Biological Honor Society is a society for students, particularly for undergraduates. It seeks to encourage scholarly attainment in this field of learning by reserving its regular membership for those who achieve superior academic records and who indicate special aptitude for and major interest in the life sciences. It desires to cultivate intellectual interest in the natural sciences and to promote a better appreciation of the value of biological study and thus welcomes into associate membership all those students who are interested in biology. Beta Beta Beta also endeavors to extend the boundaries of man’s knowledge of nature by encouraging new discoveries through scientific investigation and to this end encourages undergraduate students to begin research work and report their findings in the journal of the society, BIOS. It emphasizes, therefore, a three-fold program: stimulation of scholarship, dissemination of scientific knowledge, and promotion of biological research.
 

Benefits:

  • Meet other students interested in life and biological sciences.
  • Organize and go to events centered around fun and interesting topics.
  • Promoting research and traveling to conferences to present your research projects.
  • Form study groups and friendships with like-minded individuals.
