Virtual Agenda – Fall 2022 Virtual Biology Day

Admissions Information Session and live Q&A (Admissions Room)
Interested in applying to Rutgers–Camden? Join the Admissions office for a live information session on details about our undergraduate and graduate biology programs. A Q&A chat with Admissions will be available until 11:30 a.m.
Biology and MARC Program Information Session (Bio MARC Room)
Our Biology Faculty will go over the basics of the Undergraduate Biology program and also go over the MARC U*STAR program, which provides training, support, and mentorship for undergraduates from underrepresented backgrounds interested in pursuing a PhD in the biomedical sciences with the ultimate goal of enhancing diversity in the biomedical sciences.
