The Biology Colloquium holds classes that alternate between two very different formats. One is a large group lecture in which the entire class hears a presentation given by an invited speaker on a variety of topics. It meets in SEL 4289. On alternate weeks, students meet in small groups and tour different biological facilities throughout the UIC campus and city of Chicago.
