Biological Sciences Conference Day

This is a singular day in the spring that introduces high school students to the expansive opportunities offered by the College of Biological Sciences at the University.  We arrange for professors from eight different specialties and students who are engaged in research on campus to speak about their contribution to the University and how incoming freshman can get involved.  We also invite the high school juniors and seniors and their parents to tour our greenhouse, insect laboratory, and microbiological research facilities.  Last year, our Bio Sci day was held on MARCH 1st, 2008
