Our biology department offers research opportunities not often found at the undergraduate level, like:

• Determining phenotypic plasticity in response to nitrogen impacts plant traits, and what effects those changes might have on pollinators and plant reproduction
• Developing a paper analytical device to test for microbial contamination in water
• Marjorie A. Neuhoff Summer Science Research Communities grant, awarded to a faculty/student pair in the sciences, to conduct their own research over the summer
