Welcome back!

Welcome back for the spring semester! All of us at the biology club hope you had a great break! This semester we are changing the requirements to be a member. Members are required to pay a $3 fee, which gets you a glow in the dark bracelet that says "I <3 Biology". There are also information sheets to be filled out.

This semester is going to be packed full of fun trips! Some suggestions are an overnight zoo trip, the Bodies exhibit, WVU professional schools and a trip to the aquarium. We're also considering doing activities for the Brain Expo and Earth Day. Email officers or comment to let us know what you think!

Have a great semester!

NOTE: Meeting times for this semester are on Mondays at 5PM in the ECOLOGY LAB!

Toys for Tots

Just wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS to everyone who helped with the bake sale! We made $160 overall, which means Toys for Tots will get $80. The check was placed in the mail today, so hopefully they can use it this Christmas.  Thanks to everyone who helped: club members, friends, and anyone who bought anything.  This really is the season of giving, so hopefully our hard work will make a child's Christmas a little brighter.  Merry Christmas everyone!
