学生的机会

学生研究与实习

学生 often take advantage of the many opportunities to get involved in biological research. 研究 gives you the chance to apply what you have learned in class, to discover something new about the natural world, and to get to know your professors better. 研究 is typically ongoing so that you can participate either during the school year or in the summer months. If you are interested, check out some of the 我们教师的研究兴趣，并完成 本科 研究 Application. Then speak to speak to the professor whose research is of interest to you to find out if you can participate. 

Many students are able to get funds (an 本科 研究 Scholar Award)从 Office of 研究 and Creative Scholarship 支持他们的工作. This office also supports the attendance and 研究报告 results at large confererences - a chance to see how research happens in the larger scientific community.

In addition to research opportunities on-campus, many oppportunities exist for off-campus internships as well. A good time for this is in the summer after your junior year.  Of course, you have to plan well ahead of that time. 我们把它们放在一起 a list of off-campus internship opportunities that may help you if you are interested in pursuing this.

名助教奖学金

A large number of our students find work within the department as Teaching Assistants. Typically these students assist during student labs, helping other students navigate the material that they successfully navigated in previous years. If you are interested in working as a Teaching Assistant for a lab in which you did well in a previous year, please contact the appropriate professor.  They just might be looking for someone! 就像研究一样, working as a Teaching Assistant helps you to develop new skills, to learn the material even better (there's no better way to learn than by teaching!), and to get to know your professors better.

学生俱乐部

There are a number of very active student clubs of interest to majors within the biology department.

生物爱好者生物俱乐部: Biophilia organizes a number of events throughout the year of interest to those who just like exploring nature! Activities range from weekend camping trips to Vespers at the beach and Sabbath afternoon flower walks. There is lots of nature to explore here at Andrews and surrounding areas!

医学预科生俱乐部你对医学感兴趣吗? Then the 医学预科生俱乐部 has information for you! This club regularly organizes information sessions to help you through the hurdles of making it to Med School. But it's not just about information. Many friendships are formed through time spent at PreMed Vespers and other activities organized throughout the year. 

PreDent俱乐部: If Dentistry is the direction you are headed, then you will want to join the PreDent俱乐部. 就像其他人一样, you will find much information and friendship in the activities planned by this group. 

实地考察旅行

Did you know that there is world of discovery waiting just at your door here in Michigan? And, well, if it's not at your door, then it's not too far away. Here are some examples of popular field trips that are enjoyed by many students from year to year.

生物学基础: Each year students in 生物学基础 II take a field trip to local sites of ecological interest. They study the life and ecosystems supported by the dunes of Indiana Dunes State Park and discover the ecology of Mud Lake Bog. It's a fun way to observe biology in action. Best of all, you get to spend time with friends that you have made throughout your year in FB.
