Applying for Graduation

Graduating Seniors, we know you must be excited as you work on completing the last of your courses! One thing to remind you about - applying for graduation is a TWO-STEP process. You must apply for graduation via myCSUEB AND you have to get a major check (official confirmation that you completed all of your major requirements). If you have not completed both of these steps, please do so ASAP. To read more about this, please visit: CSUEB Biology website ---->Advising (left-hand menu) ------> FAQs-------> Graduation and Commencement-Related questions (drop down menu). You can also visit the Registrar's Graduation page (see link below). Read More

Meet Our Newest Faculty Member, Dr. Tommy Jenkinson

Dr. Tommy Jenkinson is the Biological Sciences department's newest faculty member, having joined the faculty this past Fall. Dr. Jenkinson has hit the ground running, juggling his faculty responsibilities. This Spring you can find him teaching BIOL 140B, Organismal Biology and BIOL 650, Graduate Seminar in Ecology. He is also continuing to set up his research lab. Dr. Jenkinson's scholarly interests broadly include issues in molecular ecology, evolutionary genetics, and mycology. One of his current projects involves the use of molecular techniques to examine the evolution and biogeography of the chytrid fungus (Batrachochytrium endoblast or Bd), a disease which has negatively impacted amphibian populations worldwide. You can find out more about Dr. Jenkinson and his research using the link below. And hey, if you haven't met Dr. Jenkinson yet and you see him in the science buildings or elsewhere on campus, be sure to introduce yourself. He enjoys meeting and working with students and you will likely find his enthusiasm contagious (pardon the pun!). Read More
