"My experience within the Nebraska Wesleyan Biology Department was wonderful. Each faculty member I interacted with cared about the students, challenged us with difficult material, but taught us using styles that made hard concepts easier to comprehend."
  —Kristin Maricle ('03), University of Nebraska Medical Center

“Being in the Biology Department at Wesleyan enabled me to interact with faculty who are not only great educators and scientists, but also great mentors. Whether we were in the classroom, chatting in a professor's office, hiking through a tall-grass prairie, or singing songs around a campfire, I was always learning from those around me."
  —Jessica Petersen ('00), laboratory coordinator, Western Illinois University Department of Biological Sciences
