It may sound weird to you, but the biology student sees it as one of the wonders of life. The Bi-Sci department works along with the student to help him understand these processes. Under the leadership of Dr. Ann Bond, the department constantly works to keep their program vital and interesting to CSU ' s students. One way of doing this is a continuing examination and re- evaluation of course offerings. Together with students from the Biology organization, the faculty meets frequently to insure that both required courses and classes with high student interest are offered on a regular basis. This method of planning seems to work well and students have expressed ap- preciation that their opinions are considered. Another concern of this department is preparing students to deal with today ' s special problems. Courses in drugs, pollution, and ecology are included to help meet these needs. Students are also encouraged to do individual research on their particular field of interest. Available to them is specialized help in any field they may be researching. Each member of the department is an expert in some aspect of biology; from Mr. Reginald Jones ' knowledge of the molecular basis of life to Dr. Esther DaCostas ' experience with the physiology of the entire organism. The faculty, a vast field of resources and aid, is always willing to help their students, because education is still their primary objective.
