Biological Sciences Department 100th Anniversary

Support the Next Century of Discovery in Biological Sciences

As we celebrate the Centennial of RPI’s Department of Biological Sciences during the 2025-26 academic year, we invite you—our alumni and friends—to mark this historic milestone by investing in the future.

Be a Centennial Champion. With a gift of $100 or more to the Biological Sciences Excellence Fund, you’ll directly support transformative student experiences—funding undergraduate research, summer fellowships, and travel to national conferences. These opportunities change lives and launch careers.

Our goal is ambitious: to raise $10,000 this year to empower our students and sustain excellence into our second century. With your help, we can achieve our goal.

What Your Gift Supports

Our Biological Sciences Excellence Fund directly impacts students, faculty, and the future of the department by supporting:

Undergraduate Research: From first-year exploratory projects to immersive summer research experiences, students gain hands-on skills that prepare them for advanced study and successful careers in the field.

Community Building: We invest in student-led events and groups that foster connection, collaboration, and a strong sense of belonging—building networks that enhance academic success and last well beyond graduation.

Service Opportunities: Students are empowered to give back through local and global service initiatives that promote civic engagement and meaningful impact.

Academic Innovation: Your support helps us develop new courses, modernize lab experiences, and stay at the forefront of emerging trends in biological sciences—all while advancing the research of our faculty and graduate students.

Extraordinary outcomes begin with you.
Make your Centennial gift today!
