Description

The Undergraduate Forum has provided a venue for students majoring in animal sciences, biology, biochemistry, natural resources, nutrition, plant sciences, and psychology. Faculty mentors in the life sciences disciplines have academic appointments in Agriculture, Food & Natural Resources; Arts & Science, Engineering, Health Professions; Human Environmental Sciences; Medicine; and Veterinary Medicine.

Thanks to the support of the MU Libraries staff, we are able to offer a comment feature to the digital Forum and encourage you to leave questions and comments July 30-August 5, 2020 keeping in mind MU’s Statement of Values (Respect, Responsibility, Discovery, and Excellence - missouri.edu/mission-values)

We also encourage the students to check-in periodically over the 5 days and respond to questions.
