The development of a Biology Resource Center will provide innovative tools for student success and foster a sense of community for biology students. This will bring together students from different years, classes, and interests, promoting a sense of ownership and inclusion. The resources will aid students as they prepare for exams, internships, and conferences and will help promote high impact practices. High impact practices such as experimental design and problem solving, rigorous data analysis and interpretation, writing and speaking across the curriculum among others can be utilized and honed. An innovative inclusion will be workshops on topics of interest to biology students. With this project, students will have the opportunity to gain leadership experience as peer tutors and peer mentors. This poster will discuss the planning and initial implementation of this project.
