Alumni & Giving

Invest in curiosity. Change what's possible.

When you give to the Department of Biology, your gift shows up in the places students learn. Donors who cared about the outdoors built the infrastructure at the Horner Wildlife Sanctuary and planted the Harriet Korfhage Native Plant Garden, where students now do real fieldwork. Gifts fund the travel awards that send undergraduates to present their research at conferences, and they back the scholarships and lab experiences that help students become the next generation of biologists. Every dollar goes toward developing better scientists – curious, capable and ready to heal, protect and discover. Thank you for investing in them.
