Department News & Events
- New Arrivals:
- Dr. Marianne Baricevic, Instructor of Biology, as of July 1, 2008. Marianne has just completed her PhD in Microbiology and Molecular Genetics at Rutgers, from which she also received a BS in Genetics. She has taught as an adjunct in the department since fall 2007. While at Rutgers, Dr. Baricevic was anNSF GK-12 Fellow (providing science instruction for middle school students), and participated in the Douglass Summer Institute and Weekend Academy, for high school girls.
- Dr. K. Derek Weber, Instructor of Biology, as of July 1, 2008. Derek has a BS in Chemistry from Moravian College,and his PhD in Biomolecular Chemistry from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He has taught for the last three years at Broward Community College in Florida, after a one year appointmentat John Carroll University (Cleveland, OH). In addition to this teaching duties, Dr. Weber has helped develop BCC's biotechnology curriculum, and he has been an innovator in classroom technology.
- Biotechnology Seminars:
- These weekly seminars ,part of the Biotechnology Seminar course, are open to the public.Students who may be interested in biotechnology, as a major or as a future interest, will particularly benefit from attending these seminars.
- Science Seminars:
- Since the Fall 1997semester, thanks to the inspiration and hard work of Professor Emeritus.Darryl Walke, the Department has sponsored a series of weekly Science Seminars during the fall and spring semesters. These talks, which cover a wide range of topics in science, engineering, and mathematics, are presented by faculty at Raritan Valley Community College, as well as by members of the wider academic and scientific community. They provide the substance for the Honors Science Seminar (SCIE-128), but are also open to all interested students, faculty, staff, and members of the public.
- Department Meetings:
- The department meets biweekly (beginning in September), at 3:15 PM in room C207 unless otherwise stated. For additional information, please contact the department's Administrative Assistant, Diana Trybulski: 908.526.1200 x 8817 or dtrybuls@raritanval.edu )
