Students, both current and new, continue to be our priority.
Your safety is our top priority.

College Convocation for the College of Science, within which SBS is an academic unity, will take place in-person at Rice-Eccles Stadium. Due to the evolving situation of the pandemic, there are limitations as to who can attend … and how. You can learn more about convocation, also May 6, here.

SBS Awards Ceremony of The School of Biological Sciences will again take place on ZOOM, this year on Reading Day, April 28 at 4:00 pm, MDT. Students, faculty, staff, alumni and others who are receiving awards may invite family members to join in. Our 2021 Distinguished Alumni, Mitchell Aide and Reshma Shetty will be recognized as well.

One year ago this April the School of Biological Sciences lost our founding father, K. Gordon Lark, to cancer. As we approach the end of Spring Semester and graduation, and as we look back to December when Dr. Lark would have turned 90, we remember his innovation, leadership, academic rigor and research. You can read this tribute published last May in Genetics Society of America from Nobel laureate and SBS faculty member Mario Capecchi here. Look for other tributes from Toto Olivera and other faculty in our upcoming, twice-yearly OUR DNA magazine.

Classes end Tuesday, April 27

Reading Day is Wednesday April 28, and the final Exam Period begins April 29 and continues through May 5
