Message from Dean Carmie Garzione - August 2024 Newsletter

Dear students, faculty, staff, and friends,

Welcome to a new academic year at the University of Arizona! The College of Science is a vibrant community of scientists that spans the broad disciplinary domains of Earth sciences; life and molecular sciences; mathematics and computational sciences; neural, cognitive and behavioral sciences; and physics and space sciences. Diverse perspectives from across these strengths fuel the wonder and creativity that leads to incredible discoveries, with many highlighted in this newsletter.

Students, we encourage you to participate in exploration, discovery, and innovation working alongside our faculty and staff. Expand your horizons and join a student club or organization. Explore your curiosities beyond your comfort zone and learn something new. Take advantage of the College of Science Career Center and prepare yourself for internships and research opportunities. There is a fantastic community around you at the U of A. We are here to help you grow and make those connections.

We welcome you to peruse this edition of the College of Science Newsletter for a glimpse of the remarkable things happening across the sciences. I also encourage you to check out the Events Calendar to get involved on campus and take advantage of the many exciting things happening this semester.

Wishing you all a great year. Bear Down!
