The Biology Society at Chicago State University, a minority institution, promotes awareness of issues, research, and careers in ecology through sponsorship of the Biology Seminar Series and Earth Day activitites. We encourage underrepresented undergraduate students to pursue a career in ecology by providing a framework for gathering those students who share a common goal in pursuing ecology. |
Plans for 2007-2008
- The Biological Society plans to host a Wellness Workshop in early fall 2007.
- We plan to start recycling projects on campus.
- We plan to go to high schools to speak about the need for students to study science.
- The society plans to raise money and collect items for donations to the Children's Hospital.
- The society also plans to organize Earth Day/Arbor Day activities in April 2008.
2006-2007 Activities
- The Biological Society had a plant sale (fundraiser) in March 2006, where we sold plants that were grown by the society and sold to generate funds for the Undergraduate Research Week held in April.
- The Biological Society also sponsored five members to make a Habitat for Humanity trip to New Orleans during Spring Break.
- The Biological Society sponsored a "SPOTLIGHT ON UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH WEEK" April 16-19th. Undergraduates put up posters and presented their research projects at Chicago State University.
