BIOLOGY MAJORS SERVE SOCIETY? As a group, Beloit’s Biology majors are service oriented. Many did volunteer work as undergraduates, served the College or the Department in many important ways, or worked in outreach and tutoring programs. When the graduate from Beloit, our majors continue to serve society. Here are some recent examples of their service. |

Throughout the year, many Biology majors are involved in community projects, from monitoring local water sources to working with 6th grade girls in the annual Girls and Women in Science program and tutoring local middle school and high school students. |

My territory includes all of the high schools in Madison, Wisconsin, the businesses in Dane County east of the Capitol, all of the high schools in Jefferson County, and prospects in surrounding counties. I am really excited about working in the high schools, because I know that I will get to do a lot of recruitment and public speaking. I really enjoy my job. |
