Students interact with the speakers.
The Departmental series is complemented by those in related departments which, taken together, comprise an exciting and stimulating environment. The Department encourages its students to participate in regional and national meetings and symposia. Resources are available to defray costs of travel and accommodations at these meetings. The School of Life Sciences, through its Clark Awards, and the Department also provide funds for special academic opportunities for graduate students. These have included study at research institutes such as Woods Hole and attendance at international symposia and meetings to present papers.
