<div style="font-family: Tahoma; "><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); white-space: pre-wrap; "><font face="Times New Roman">Department Exploration, or DEX, is a new program piloting during the last week of IAP that will help freshmen learn about
various majors. To give freshmen an idea of what it is like to be an undergrad in course 7, the biology department is looking for
<b>Course 7 or 6/7 juniors and seniors </b>to present a lightning lecture. <b>These lightning lectures will be SHORT (5-10 minute) presentations, given by students, about either a class or a research project.</b> Research projects outside Course 7 are acceptable
as long as they have a biological focus: the goal is to show freshmen the variety of opportunities that biology offers. The presentations will start at 4:30 PM on Tuesday, January 29th. If you have further questions, please contact
