Dear alumni and friends,
We
need your support...
The Biology Department relies on
donations
from our friends to carry out several important functions. There
are currently several ways to put your dollars to work within the
Biology Department.
To make a donation to a particular account,
please use a form
available from the Give to
JMU page and include the account number(s) mentioned below. A
secure online form is also available.
Biology Department. Gifts designated to the Biology
Department account (#14263) fill the gap for underfunded
areas. These gifts are truly valuable
because they grant the Department the flexibility to allocate funds to
the areas with the most need.
Biology Visiting Speakers Fund.
Exposing faculty and students to scientists and research outside
of
JMU is very beneficial. Gifts designated to this account (#14265) will provide
funds for travel expenses and/or honoraria for visiting scientists to
give seminars in the Department.
Undergraduate
Research in Biology.
Student research is
supported by the Trelawney
Undergraduate Research Endowment (#25838).
Dr. Gil Trelawney was head of the Biology Department for over 23 years
until
his retirement in 1994.
Biology
Scholarships. Several
scholarships and awards are offered
to meritorius and/or needy
students each year to allow them to pursue their studies in Biology at
JMU. Please
consider contributing to any of several endowments: Chappelear Scholarships (#25295),
Acton Scholarships
(#25137),
and Margaret Gordon Scholarships
(#25431).
For more information see the Scholarships and Awards page.
We would greatly appreciate your contributions
to help us offer more scholarships, maintain the quality of our seminar
series, and to support student research and faculty development.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any
questions.
Thank you very much!
Judy Dilts
Interim Head, Department of Biology
