[bioundgrd] Laurie Boyer to join Adam Martin in co-leadership of the Biology UG program

[Amy E Keating]

Dear course 7, 5/7, 6/7 students,

I am pleased to share with you that Prof. Laurie Boyer has graciously agreed to join Prof. Adam Martin as co-director of our undergraduate program and co-chair of the Biology Undergraduate Committee, effective January 1.

Prof. Boyer has served for more than 8 years on our UG committee. She has much experience as a classroom instructor of undergraduate students and a mentor for ~40 UROPs in her research lab, and she has volunteered as host of our Biology Undergraduate Research Symposium. Prof. Boyer has also served MIT undergraduates at the institute level, in many roles, including on the Presidential Committee for Distinguished Fellowships and the Eloranta Fellowship Selection Committee, and as a member of the MIT Committee for Student Life. She is currently serving on the important institute-level Committee on the Undergraduate Program.

Profs. Boyer and Martin will be working together, with our undergraduate committee, many other faculty members, and the BioEducation office, to continually improve and refine our programs in biology education. I encourage you to share with them your suggestions and feedback based on your experiences and ideas.

Best wishes for the end of the fall semester, a restful holiday break, and a rewarding IAP.

Sincerely,
Amy Keating

Amy E. Keating
Jay A. Stein Professor of Biology
