The Department of Biology is continuing its Career Seminar Series which invites alumni to speak to students about their careers and experiences. Our next career seminar is with Dr. Megan Jack (B.S. in Biology, 2006), Assistant Professor of Neurological Surgery and Director of Peripheral Nerve Surgery at Cleveland Clinic.
