On January 24, 2003, students at Central Campus expanded their knowledge of careers in Biology. Each hour the biology classes combined to hear a panel of speakers from various biology-related careers. During each speaker's presentation, students learned how much education was required and recommended for each career, what the average earnings are for each profession, and how important it is to like what you do -- job satisfaction is greater than any monetary rewards. Much emphasis was placed on the importance of communication skills, and students were encouraged to follow their dreams.

At the end of each presentation, students were given the opportunity to ask questions and some great discussion developed. Many students discovered careers that they didn't know were available.

The following is a list of presenters:

  • Brandy Clark, Roosevelt Park Zoo
  • MSgt Steve Ball, Wildlife Biologist, USAF
  • Dr. Michael Shannon, Periodontists
  • Dr. William Fielhaber, Chiropractor
  • Sheila Klein, Audiologist
  • Dr. Alex Deufel, MSU Biology Dept.
  • Dr. Chris Keller, MSU Biology Dept.
  • Dr. Rick Barkosky, MSU Biology Dept.
  • Dr. Chris Beachy, MSU Biology Dept.
