The BioDiversity Club is a student club for pre-professional, transfer students interested in organismal biology and conservation. We seek to interact with the scientific community and to contribute to the student’s educational growth, recreational needs, and personal development.
In the past, the BioDiversity Club has held bi-weekly meetings for the purposes of discussing conservation and biodiversity related topics in a social setting. In addition, we host educational seminars and enjoy professor-guided field trips which enable students to experience biodiversity hands on.
