Dear [member_wildcard_31795],
Basic biology focuses on the fundamentals – knowledge that is widely applicable to many other fields of research and study. That is why supporting the College of Biological Sciences is so crucial. With a strong foundation we can ensure that the specialized fields, such as medicine, that build upon those biology fundamentals will continue to thrive.
And that is precisely where you come in. We rely on our generous donors to keep our programs and research alive and producing results. In the past year alone, your dollars have gone toward:
 |
• |
Funding the Dean’s Mentorship Award. |
|
This award gives needed funds to graduate students who are providing crucial mentorship to undergraduates. |
|
• |
Enriching undergraduate education through lab experience. |
|
The College of Biological Sciences is one of the few places where undergraduate students can gain lab experience in state-of-the-art research labs while working with world-renowned faculty. |
|
• |
Enabling graduate student research. |
|
From sequencing DNA to analyzing relationships within entire ecosystems, the diversity of research within the College of Biological Sciences is incredible, and you help ensure that it stays that way. |
These successes are just a few among many that give us renewed energy and enthusiasm to begin a new quarter. Along with the 125 faculty, 400 staff, and more than 5,000 undergraduate and 450 graduate students who make up the College, I hope you share in the belief that understanding life’s building blocks is the key to advancing medicine, nutrition, agriculture and the environment.
With that in mind, I hope you will invest in our students and our research this year. Your gift will make a substantial and lasting impact on the future of biology.
If you would like to make your gift today, please visit our website.
Sincerely,
Ken Burtis
Dean
