Director's Message
As we embark on a new school year, I would like to extend a warm welcome to familiar faces and newcomers alike!
There is something so wonderful about the academic calendar – to have, each autumn, a brand new academic year stretching out ahead, filled with new classes, new ideas, and new opportunities to make intellectual and social connections alike.
I wish for each of you a year filled with challenges that inspire your growth and moments of joy that brighten your days. I always love meeting HumBio students and other members of our community, so feel free to reach out to find a time to meet and chat.
Here’s to a terrific year ahead!
All my best,
Lianne Kurina, PhD
