The new Psychobiology degree program, in our Department of Psychology chaired by Dr. David Wolgin , graduated 11 students its first year. The M.S. degree in Environmental Science has admitted 13 students into its initial class. Program Director Dr. Dan Austin continues to recruit for this fine program. Three new college programs were accepted by the Board of Regents to be included in its master plan for 1998-2003. The new degrees are an M.S. in Applied Mathematics and Statistics , a Ph.D. in Biology , and a Ph.D. in Chemistry .
Enrollment continues to increase dramatically within the college.
We began hosting special alumni activities last year, and this is just the beginning. Science alums and other friends and faculty got together for wine tasting and hors d'oeuvres at Citrus of Boca. The social gave alums and their favorite professors a chance to catch up. If you are interested in having an alumni social in your area, please let us know. Dr. DiMarchi has become one of the world's leading protein chemists and is group vice president of Research Technologies and Proteins for Lilly Research Laboratories.
