Lin Hare
- Biology Lab supervisor and coordinator
- Research Project coordinator
"I have always enjoyed working in labs and enjoy helping students learn about biology. I especially enjoy mentoring the lab assistants and tutors as they learn new skills beyond the classroom. Also, working with students on independent projects, such as lake studies, ecosystem projects, etc. is both beneficial and rewarding. We teach from books but learn from Nature."
