CBS Student Highlight: Kristin Roensch

What is your major?

Currently, I am a senior pursuing a major in Genetics, Cell Biology and Development and a minor in Spanish Studies.

Why was CBS a great fit for you?

I chose the College of Biological Sciences because of its dedication to and focus on the students. As a student in CBS, I have never felt like a number; everyone involved in CBS really goes above and beyond to make sure that the students are well taken care of and that all of their needs are met. It is so easy to get involved in CBS through its many student groups, organizations, and leadership opportunities. Overall, I am so happy with my decision to come to CBS--I have learned so much, both in and out of the classroom.

Ultimate Homecoming Parade

Now for a little flashback...

As you may know, this past fall marked the return of football to campus with the opening of the TCF Bank Stadium. It was dubbed 'The Ultimate Homecoming.'  Of course, any homecoming isn't complete without a parade, so on Friday, October 9, students, staff, faculty, alumni, and the University community joined together for a night to remember...

To show our school spirit during the parade, approximately 70 students, faculty, staff, and alumni represented the Nature of Life program and all seven departments within CBS. The students created caricatures to represent each of the departments. Dean Robert Elde and CBS founding dean Richard Caldecott rode in a convertible along with Biological Sciences Alumni Society Board of Directors President John S. Anderson. View our full-screen slideshow and see how it all went down!

BIO magazine is now online!

Many of us are spending more time online and less time paging through magazines. Afterall, you can't watch that exciting video about CBS students making a difference in the world if you're not using a computer. In that spirit, BIO (the College of Biological Science's magazine) has decided to go online to publish without the pulp and produce more timely, media-rich features!
 

Check out BIO magazine on the CBS Web site.
