New Experimental Course - Biology of Plants

Calling all aspiring botanists!  The Biology Program is offering a new experimental course in introductory plant biology (BIOL 357X) this coming Fall of 2016.  Taught by Professor Robert Wallace, this course will examine fundamental aspects of plant biology to enable students to get a broad appreciation of the structures, functions, diversity, and environmental roles of plants.  

Undergraduate Research Seminar (BIOL 495)

A new, second-half semester course is being offered this Spring 2016 for students interested in doing research in the biological sciences.  Note that this course is 1 credit, not a half a credit as listed in the posting.

49th Skunk River Navy

Learn about the Biology Program's most recent service-learning event! Students, staff, faculty, B.E.S.T. learning community peer mentors, TA's and returning SRN veterans banded together to form the 49th Skunk River Navy (SRN) for Operation: Long Run, a four mile local river clean-up and biodiversity adventure.

48th Skunk River Navy

How to describe the Skunk River Navy?  It is something that must be experienced.  A great deal of life is that way - things must be experienced to be truly known and understood - and the Skunk River Navy is definitely an experience.  Through the shared challenges of Operation: Obstacle Course, the volunteers of the SRN bonded.  Together, we survived and conquered.  All new volunteers are now First Class Riverpersons of the SRN.  Congratulations, to all of you!
