The Department of Biology is an interactive community of undergraduates, faculty and staff who work together to better understand the nature and significance of living systems. We share a common commitment both to biology as a scientific discipline and to the importance of biology in broader social and cultural contexts. Like all biological systems, the richness of the biology community at the College reflects and depends on the diversity of its members, and the continual exploration of new directions.
