Barry Undergrad News

Welcome back students, we hope your holiday break was fun and relaxing!  Congratulations to Katharine Leiter who was accepted into the RISEE Program January 7, 2008.  This semester our students will be working with faculty, traveling to the Florida Academy of Sciences meeting in Jacksonville, FL and searching for summer internships.  Good luck with your classes and in all your extracurricular activities this semester!

Barry University will be hosting two series presented by the Center for Earth Jurisprudence entitled Cosmology and Bioneers.  Every Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. in the Landon Student Union room 301 a DVD will be shown about one of the topics.  The series will alternate each Tuesday.  The viewings will be followed by an open discussion.  All members of the Barry community are invited as well as the general public.

High School News

The 2008 Introduction to Research Summer Workshop will be held Monday, June 9th through Friday, June 27th at Barry University in School of Natural and Health Sciences room 235.  Due to the last day of high school being later this year we have pushed back the original start date and will have the workshop be 5 days for 3 weeks.  The workshop will be from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm.  Transportation to and from the workshop is the responsibility of the student as well as lunch.  There are places to purchase lunch and eat on campus and there will be at least a 30 minutes lunch break each day.  Thus far planned field trips include a day long trip to Shark Valley Everglades National Park.  Also, several trips to Oleta River State Park for land and water activities and a trip to the water treatment facility in Hollywood have been scheduled.  The two instructors, Drs. Macia and Montague, myself, Meghan Buckley, and the water safety team, Sharon Kegeles and Eva Cihos are very excited to get this workshop started and have a great summer!
