Giving

Thank you for your interest in contributing to Â鶹´«Ã½'s Department of Biological Sciences in the College of Arts and Sciences. Your donations help us attract and keep top faculty, recruit the best graduate Â鶹´«Ã½s and support undergraduate Â鶹´«Ã½s. Your generous support enhances our teaching and research mission.  If you would like to invest in the department and its Â鶹´«Ã½s, here are a few funds that may be of interest.

  • Biological Sciences Department Fund
    The discretionary fund supports many different areas of unmet need for Â鶹´«Ã½s in biological sciences.
  • Research supplies for graduate and undergraduate Â鶹´«Ã½s
    Students need and appreciate hands–on research experiences and it comes at a significant cost. Your investment will allow Â鶹´«Ã½s to purchase research supplies and reagents for these research projects.
  • SABRE - Students Advancing Biological Research and Education 
    Biology undergraduate Â鶹´«Ã½s working on research are most productive when they can spend 20–40 hours a week in the lab during summer hours, but the majority of them cannot afford to volunteer that much of their time. As a result, they miss important educational Â鶹´«Ã½ that can lead to significant progress in their scientific education, publications, conference presentations, and ultimately, their careers. Donations will help fund this opportunity by giving the Â鶹´«Ã½s a stipend during the internship.
  • Biological Research Equipment Fund
    Students require scientific research equipment as part of their research education. Equipment maintenance and replacement is critical and your donation will be added to others to keep our teaching and research labs up to date.
  • Biological Sciences Travel Fund
    Numerous undergraduate and graduate Â鶹´«Ã½s are involved in research and present resulting papers and posters at conferences. Funding helps cover a portion of their travel expenses to research sites and conferences.
  • Biological Sciences Finch Greenhouse Fund
    The Biological Sciences Greenhouse is a thriving facility with quality state-of-the-art space. There is always a need to fund supplies and plant purchases to support the faculty and Â鶹´«Ã½s conducting plant related research.
  • Biomedical Sciences Fund
    This fund supports awards for Â鶹´«Ã½s on the premed track.
  • Dr. Darrell R. Latva Biological Sciences Teaching Excellence Fund
    Outstanding faculty in Biological Sciences are honored for their teaching excellence. List of recipients
