Welcome to our 2021 Virtual Open House!

In this week-long series, we opened the doors to our classrooms and laboratories (virtually), and shared just what it means to study as a Banana Slug on our campus! Our professors, students, and staff members brought some examples of our innovative, interdisciplinary research and learning directly to you in these LIVE virtual events. The event has passed, but we encourage you to view the video recordings below!
