Introducing Diversity in Biology

Diversity in Biology is meant to provide a method for interjecting diversity easily into your classroom. Representation matters, so introducing a diverse biologist at the beginning of each class or chapter can not only heighten visibility, but hopefully provide powerful role models for students of diverse backgrounds. Check out what CSU’s Biology Department is currently doing in support of this mission.
