Message from the Department Head Welcome to the Department of Biology. We start out the new 2011-2012 academic year with about 400 new students entering the department, for an overall total of close to 950 undergraduates. We also welcome six new students into our graduate program. Finally, we are especially excited to announce that we have hired six new assistant professors to our department who bring a wide range of cutting-edge research programs and expertise to the department. You may have already noticed the fencing on the east side of the Bailey Science Center. This area will be used to house the equipment needed to build the two-story addition onto the south side of the Bailey Science Center, and this project will be completed in April. There are lots of other announcements that will be forthcoming and I encourage you to sign up and follow the department’s activities on my twitter account @RobertGannon2. Follow @RobertGannon2 If I can be of any help to you as a prospective or current student, please e-mail me at rlgannon@valdosta.edu. Robert L. Gannon, Ph.D. Professor and Head of Biology
