Dear Alumni and Friends 

The 2019 Fall semester was a busy one for the Department.  Our department continues to advance the research mission of CU Denver. Our faculty and graduate students traveled nationally and internationally to speak at conferences and present their research. The highlights of the past semester were graduating two alumns of the Ph.D. program, Dr. Dr. Feyza Yilmaz, Ph.D., and Dr. Elizabeth (Libby) Pansing, Ph.D.; and CU Denver Biology club winning the Milo award for best student club.

We’d like to share some details of the 2019 Fall Semester with you below and we’d also like to hear from you, your professional accomplishments and milestones and share these in future newsletters.  If you have news to share please email, jacki.craig@ucdenver.edu.  

All my best,
