Faculty Mentorship
Build connections with Biology faculty who can help you explore your academic interests, identify opportunities, and prepare for your next step after CSU Pueblo.
Faculty mentorship gives Biology students an opportunity to connect with faculty members beyond the classroom. A mentor can be a valuable resource as you explore your interests, consider career or graduate school options, and look for ways to become more involved in the department.
CSU Pueblo's Biology faculty work closely with students, and the department's small classes create opportunities for meaningful interaction, hands-on learning, and undergraduate and graduate research.
