Integrative Biology folks gathered at Avery Park on June 5 for their annual spring picnic. It had all the makings of a perfect picnic: sunny skies; tables full of delicious homemade salads, sides and desserts; juicy burgers, brats and hot dogs on the BBQ; children frolicking on the playground.

Wearing her Chair's cape autographed by members of the department, Virginia Weis presented the Castor canadensis awards for service to the department. Torri Givigliano was the Faculty/Staff recipient, while Angela Poole won the Graduate Student award. Congratulations, Torri and Angela! Thank you for all that you do for the department!
