Biology Majors Advisory Committee
BMAC is a student-run committee of biology majors who advise the Department on its curriculum and related matters, as well as sponsoring a variety of social and biology-related activities. The organization of the committee is overseen by their advisor, Dawn Jamros, but the operation of the committee is entirely in the hands of the biology majors themselves. Members of the committee also advise potential majors and incoming first year students on course selections.
