I am personally committed to quality teaching and scholarship. My goal as a professor at HSU is to assist students in acquiring the ability to think, write, and speak clearly, critically, and independently about a wide range of important issues in biology. HSU’s biology department provides a caring, challenging academic environment where you can gain the skills and knowledge to attain your dreams.
