About:

The WWU Biology Department provides an outstanding and inclusive learning environment that integrates education, scholarship, and service, actively engages students in the biological sciences, and fosters their development as lifelong learners. Our curriculum spans subdisciplines from marine ecology to developmental genetics to bioinformatics and provides abundant opportunities for interactions with educators who are national leaders in biology education at the college level.  Our curriculum is designed to help our students master fundamental biological principles in depth, learn practical lab and field skills to address a wide range of biological questions using sophisticated instrumentation, develop strong critical thinking and quantitative skills, gain confidence in communicating precisely and analytically, and engage independently and collaboratively as thoughtful and productive contributors to society.

Impact

Your gift to the Biology Department this year will fund student research and travel to conferences, career networking opportunities, and most importantly, scholarships, especially for first-generation and underrepresented students.
