The Individuals Advancing Science

The Department of Biology faculty consists of a diverse group of individuals with research interest ranging from the building blocks of life to exploring diverse ecosystems both on land and underwater.  The faculty can efficiently conduct research due to the support of hardworking and dedicated staff.  Our department is not complete without significant assistance from post-doctoral students, graduate students, and visiting faculty.

The Department of Biology is committed to 1) enriching the lives of students, faculty, and staff by providing a respectful, welcoming, and inclusive academic community where the exchange of ideas, knowledge and perspectives is an active part of living and learning and 2) expanding access to transformative and engaging learning experiences that help all students succeed in their academic advancement.
