New Opportunities for Biology Students

This is an exciting time to be a Biology major. The department has been awarded a $1.6 million grant from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute to create a new HHMI Undergraduate Science Program that is transforming the experience for undergraduates with new laboratory courses, research internships, and an undergraduate research symposium. We welcome you to participate and encourage you to take advantage of these new opportunities!
