BioSci Unveils Dedicated Graduate Space

The school recently celebrated the grand opening of its new Graduate Active Learning Space. The dedicated space, located in Natural Sciences I, is designed to provide graduate students with an environment to collaborate and learn together.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony was attended by BioSci graduate students, faculty and staff, who gathered to mark the occasion and explore the state-of-theart facilities. The space is equipped with interactive whiteboards and Zoom capabilities, allowing for remote collaboration and group discussions.

Dean Frank LaFerla delivered remarks at the small ceremony, expressing his excitement for the new space and its potential to enhance learning and foster collaboration among graduate students. He highlighted the critical role that graduate students play in advancing scientific research and shaping the future of the field, and emphasized the school’s commitment to providing them with the resources they need to succeed.

The Graduate Active Learning Space is available exclusively for graduate students and can be booked through BioSci Facilities. It is expected to become a hub for innovative ideas and lively discussions among the BioSci graduate student community, contributing to the important work they are doing in advancing the field of biological sciences.

The project was made possible through the tireless efforts of the BioSci Facilities and Computing teams, as well as feedback and ideas from the graduate student community. The grand opening ceremony was a testament to the school’s commitment to supporting its graduate students and investing in their success.
