Welcome to the Department of Biological
Sciences Undergraduate awards page.
The major functions of Department of Biological Sciences research and teaching.
Our department currently offers majors in Biochemistry, Biology and
Microbiology. Our most outstanding majors excel in the classroom and in the
research laboratories of departmental faculty.
Many of the past winners of our undergraduate awards have established successful
professional careers after graduate school. We invite you to provide a
thumbnail sketch of your current activities by sending us information on your
current activities.
The Microbiology awards are currently partially funded but neither the award for
the Outstanding Senior in Biochemistry nor the Outstanding Senior in the
Biological Sciences has any funding.
