For all of the promise and potential that modern biology offers our society, the financial requirements inherent in preparing bright, highly motivated students through rigorous, comprehensive undergraduate and graduate academic programs create daunting challenges. Challenges are the dull side of the penny; opportunity exists on the penny’s bright side. Private philanthropic support of the programs in the Department of Biological Sciences offers the means to meet the challenges and to take advantages of the opportunities available for our students who seek to study the biological science and our society which will be the beneficiary of their studies.
The generosity of alumni and friends is crucial to the growth and evolution of the Department of Biological Sciences at the University at Buffalo. It enables our students to have a rich and rewarding academic experience, learning from exceptional scholars and participating in premier research and academic programs. By providing support, donors positively influence the educational experience of thousands of students. Your giving supports students and faculty by underwriting several initiatives.
