Director's Message

Dear HumBio Community,

Welcome to the 2022-23 academic year! It is great to be back on campus and I look forward to seeing you all in our newly renovated building. As ever, it is a real privilege to continue to lead our mission of providing extraordinary interdisciplinary education to a new generation of students.

As we begin the new year, I invite you to explore all that the Human Biology community has to offer – from courses to advising to events. Our vibrant community is filled with terrific students, faculty, staff, and alumni who truly care about the program and one another.

Here’s to a great year together!

All my best,
Lianne Kurina, PhD
