Gamma Sigma Delta
This is an honor society dedicated to recognizing academic achievement and
accomplishment of students, faculty, and others whose work has contributed to
agriculture. The activities and programs of Gamma Sigma Delta are carried out by
the 53 chapters of the Society at universities throughout the United States,
Puerto Rico, and the Philippines. Nominees for membership in the UCR chapter
must show potential for agricultural research or have contributed to the
advancement of agricultural research or have contributed to the advancement of
agriculture. Selected students, undergraduate and graduate, and faculty are
inducted at a lecture meeting in the spring. Each year, an alumnus award is
presented to an outstanding recent UCR Ph.D. graduate who has made significant
contributions to agriculture since leaving the campus. The UCR chapter also
presents a Graduate Dissertation Award each year, to recognize outstanding UCR
dissertation research in the agricultural sciences, as well as a Distinguished
Science Award and an Extension Award. The chapter encourages early interest in
agricultural sciences through science fair awards to high school students with
projects related to agriculture.
