Tau Beta Pi

Founded in 1885, Tau Beta Pi is the nation's oldest and largest engineering honor society. Membership in Tau Beta Pi recognizes exceptional engineers and students with exemplary character and offers unique, valuable opportunities. Tau Beta Pi seeks to broaden the collegiate experience of its members, thereby enhancing the engineering educational experience. Interests in non-technical fields, civic responsibility, and other human and cultural areas are encouraged through the various social and service activities of the chapters. Membership in Tau Beta Pi enables close interaction with students of all different engineering disciplines within your school and also provides opportunities to interact with faculty members, many of whom are also Tau Bates. Tau Beta Pi assists more students than any other engineering organization, awarding more than $300,000 in scholarships and at least $80,000 in fellowships each year.

The UVM chapter of Tau Beta Pi is VT-Alpha. You are invited to join TBP during your junior and senior years at UVM based on academics and character. We perform various service events around the Burlington community and on-campus. We also host professional development series from renowned motivational and professional speakers. Be sure to find us on campus for “Pi” Day activities in March too. We’re looking forward to 3.1415 this year!
