The BIOLOGY CLUB

THE BIOLOGY CLUB

The purpose of the Biology Club is to actively present issues of scientific relevance to the students in which students will research and, in most cases, give presentations to other interested students. The Biology Club discusses interesting and debatable scientific issues and participates in programs such as Health Week, Wellness Experience and Psychology Week seminars. The Club also visits hospitals research centers, exhibitions and museums. The future of the Club is its members and their desire to pursue the goals of the Club. Students of all majors may participate.
