Sigma Xi inducted 46 students as new members of the Society during a banquet ceremony on Saturday, November 5,2022. The students were award recipients for oral and poster presentations at the 2022 IFoRE Student Summit in Alexandria, Virginia. Cash prizes were given along with commemorative medals and membership to the Society, including one year of paid dues. Over 250 high school, undergraduate, and graduate students attended the inaugural conference, and research was presented in oral and poster format, both in-person and virtually. A judging committee of Sigma Xi members evaluated the in person presenters on their scientific thought, methods, and communication skills. In addition to the judges' awards, the DC chapter of Sigma Xi sponsored two Student Choice Awards, carrying additional monetary prizes and voted on by fellow participants.
