space With recent changes to the MCB program including requiring BIOL 213 for all students and the opening of the BIOL 491 course offering, along with a few recent faculty proposals, the CMBA along with the Microbiology Society is working on gathering student input on the biology program in general. This is an opportunity for students to voice their opinion and through working with the faculty, to try to improve the program that we have. Our goal is to present to the administration a list of proposals that reflect the student's needs. This will be carried out in a series of open forum meetings where any interested party is invited to help shape these proposals. This is an opportunity that can benefit all students, even if you are near graduation because anything that helps the A&M program will only make your degree more valuable. We strongly invite any interested party to attend.
