School of Biological Sciences at Illinois State

This #BirdsGiveBack, join #RedbirdScholar Dr. Craig McLauchlan in supporting student research @IllinoisStateU. He will match your donations dollar-for-dollar, up to a total of $3,000, to provide students with compensation, reimbursement of research expenses, and funding to present their scholarship and creative work at professional conferences and exhibits. Give at birdsgiveback.illinoisstate.edu/campaigns/stud…

This includes experiences in the classroom, lab, and field, as well as through study abroad. Your support plays a vital role in sustaining and expanding these opportunities; helping students participate in experiences that may not otherwise be possible to prepare them for success

Birds Give Back is here. Thank you for the many ways you have supported our school over the years. Please consider giving today: #BirdsGiveBack" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">birdsgiveback.illinoisstate.edu/pages/school-o…

We remain committed to providing opportunities for our undergraduate and graduate students, with an emphasis on individualized attention, mentorship, and hands-on research.
