Hi everyone. We hope that you had a wonderful and safe holiday season. Faculty are back on campus and we’ve even seen some students milling about. The first day of classes begins on Monday the 10th and it looks like it will be a busy and fun semester. Some of the courses taught here in Biology this semester are Animal Behavior, Ornithology, Wetland Delineation, Medical physiology, Cell Biology, Plant Form and Funtion, etc. For a complete list of what’s going on in the classes and labs in Biology, just click this link: http://www.bemidjistate.edu/academics/schedule/2011/spring/all/biol/

The weather here is cold (OK, not a surprise), but we have more snow than is normal for this time of year and the snowmobilers are thrilled. From Sattgast Hall I can see close to 100 ice houses out on Lake Bemidji. Speaking of Lake Bemidji, this time next week it will be a parking lot full of cars for students trying to get the closest parking spot on campus!
