During the summer, funded by faculty research grants or working toward independent study credits or honors theses, students work closely with ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½ biology faculty on original research, either assisting faculty on current projects or through developing their own project. Through these experiences, students are able to develop their research skills and explore various specializations within biology. Student-led and faculty-mentored research projects have led to student research presentations at university, regional, and national conferences, as well as student authored or co-authored publications in peer-reviewed journals.
