BIOLOGY STUDENT ADVISORY COUNCIL
The Biology Student Advisory Council (BIO-SAC) is responsible for providing a line of communication between students and faculty. Members are a resource for biology students to express their concerns or provide feedback.
Primary Functions

- Advise the biology chair and faculty regarding external reviews of the department.
- Give biology majors a voice in their department regarding any student concerns that arise.
- Help make the department a vibrant, inclusive, and supportive community.
- They provide networking opportunities and professional development resources to help students in their postgraduate careers. By coordinating fun departmental events throughout the year, the BIO-SAC also helps build a sense of community.
