    The Biology Department has ONE ceremony every year in May.
    This is for our Biology majors/2nd majors/minors who graduated in December and plan to graduate in May and August.
    This is a celebratory event only – no diplomas are given.
    Each graduate will get their name called, walk across the stage and receive a Certificate of Congratulations from our Biology Chair.
