Biology Faculty and Staff
Scientists and Educators
The faculty and staff in the Biology Department can be spotted wading in rivers, scouring the streams, and seeking out the next scientific breakthrough. Their passion for biology makes them experts not only on our campus, but around the world. They do all of this in addition to teaching classes, holding office hours, and participating in student-faculty research.
