Ways to Get Involved
Stay in Touch
We love hearing from our alumni. Update your information or send us a note and let us know what you’ve been doing — career moves, discoveries, adventures, or personal milestones. With your permission, we may feature your update in our departmental e‑newsletter.
Undergraduate Fall Seminar with Alumni
Each fall, alumni return to share their experiences, career journeys, and insights. Presenting your work is a meaningful way to reconnect with the department and inspire current students. If you’d like to be a present on your experience, please contact Umi Davis.
Serve as a Networking Contact
Students are eager to learn from alumni working across industries, labs, academia, and beyond. By volunteering as a networking contact, you provide invaluable insight into real‑world paths and professional experiences. If you’d like to be a resource for students, please reach out Umi Davis.
Support Undergraduate Research
More than 90% of our students participate in research before they graduate — a critical stepping stone for those pursuing advanced degrees or entering the workforce. Your contribution strengthens our research opportunities and helps students thrive.
Support Graduate Student Travel
Many of our graduate students are ready to share their research at national and international conferences but lack sufficient funding. Your support can open doors — helping students present their work, build collaborations and advance their careers.
