A note from your Academic Advisor: Amanda Wilson
Welcome to Insect Biology!
I am delighted to have you join our department and look forward to getting to know you better in June. Once you have completed PUR 101, you will receive an email from me with instructions to schedule your virtual advising appointment via Zoom. Advising appointments will be held from June 2nd through June 27th. During our meeting, we will finalize your fall course requests and address any questions you may have about our program.
Please reach out if you have any questions!
