The Annual Department of Biological Sciences Symposium features oral and poster presentations of original biology research from 91社区 and regional university graduate and undergraduate students. This event provides an excellent opportunity to learn about diverse biology research topics including global change threats to species fitness, host-parasite interactions, biofilms, lipid biology and behavioral biology, to name a few. The Department of Biological Sciences Symposium creates a small conference feel, perfect for practicing presentation skills, networking, and building collaborations with colleagues. In addition, this symposium provides professional development sessions that offers students a chance to learn about career opportunities following graduation and resources for meeting their professional goals.
