Tau Sigma is a national academic honors society designed to acknowledge the academic achievements and university involvements of transfer students.

 Our purpose is to provide a support system for incoming transfer students, encourage the involvement of transfer students on campus (and virtually), and provide resources that propagate success. Our Tau Sigma local chapter is open to all transfer students at UCSD! We here at Tau Sigma aim to provide an environment where transfers, such as yourself, can feel a sense of familiarity and community to encourage as successful a transition as possible. General members can still get involved in various activities, including leadership! However, National Membership is restricted, and provides it's own perks. See below for more information. 

Tau Sigma meetings will resume in Fall. Check back for more information.
