The UMBC Department of Biological Sciences thrives because of our strong and supportive community. Our students are focused and curious, and our faculty and staff are committed to providing a culture of excellence — in teaching and in research. Each year, we benefit from our alumni, corporate partners, and friends who give back to us in a variety of ways.
If you are interested in mentoring current students, networking with soon-to-be graduates, sponsoring an internship, speaking at departmental seminars or simply reconnecting with the department, please email us and someone will be in touch with you soon.
We are deeply grateful to those who give back financially. Gifts to the Department support student and faculty training opportunities, bring visiting experts to campus, and remove financial barriers to success whenever possible. Every gift makes a difference.
