从分子到生态系统系列研讨会 

For the past ten years the 生物系 has been cultivating partnerships in order to build a science community. The goal is to create and maintain a community that exemplifies the spirit of experiential learning and community engagement. Through partnerships on and off campus a speaker series has been developed that sparks interest in a broad spectrum of the Wabash Valley.

Initially, 创始合伙人, the Department of Sciences and Mathematics at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College, has helped build a small seminar series into a resource for the community. Internally, many campus groups such as the Center for Public Service and Community Engagement, 荣誉课程, 第一年经验,  College of Graduate Studies and Professional Studies, the Office of Affirmative Action and Diversity, 妇女研究项目, 科学教育中心, 基因组倡导中心, 总统办公室, and General Education have become stakeholders and have been working towards creating a Wabash Valley Science Community.

The Ultimate goal is to develop a community that broadens the scope of scholarship opportunities between students, faculty, 以及沃巴什谷的公众. Ideally we are creating a culture of scientific communication that allows us to host nationally and internationally recognized scientists to the Wabash Valley to interact with our students (both undergraduate and graduate), faculty, 以及Terre Haute社区. The Wabash Valley Science Community is facilitated through the keynote speaker series “从分子到生态系统
