Our Story
About This Cause
The UCF Department of Biology provides a dynamic learning environment where research scientists and classroom lecturers engage students in a broad-based curriculum. Research within the department stretches across a range of biology disciplines, from sub-organismal physiology to ecosystem dynamics. We prepare undergraduate students for a range of biology careers and post-graduate education (e.g. medical, dental, veterinary and graduate school).
Our students have consistently been employed by many state and federal agencies, colleges and universities, as well as environmental consulting firms and NGOs. You can support our students and programs, including our sea turtle research and coastal preservation efforts.
Your gift to the General Biology Fund allows the department to address its most pressing needs. Our needs change with time and could include anything from helping with the Career Advancement Advising Office to new program development to helping repair critical equipment.
“I’m doing things that have surprised me and found a path forward. I’m grateful to the biology department for helping to open doors for me in the field of conservation.”Luciana Banquero
