Welcome back to the spring semester. As we embark upon this new chapter, please remember to check your schedule and degree audit on LionPath, especially if you are planning to graduate in May. Many students' audits are not correct and need to be fixed manually. If you want to declare your intent to graduate but the button does not appear, see your adviser to get your audit fixed.

Representatives from Thomas Jefferson University College of Health Professions will be visiting us tomorrow, (Wed 11/9) at 12:15 in 319W. They train students to work in hospital labs performing a variety of tests to help diagnose patients. Their programs are very good and they have an outstanding job placement rate and their graduates end up earning a very good starting salary. Please attend if you are able.

10/06/2016

Registration for spring semester starts soon. Please see your adviser for help choosing courses. Many degree audits on LionPATH are not correct. Your adviser can help you fix any problems.

08/30/2016

We are getting lots of questions about the new degree audit on LionPATH. Please note that it is not necessarily accurate at this point. There are some issues with how it assigns courses to requirements and any changes made manually on eLion will have to be re-entered. Hopefully some of these problems will be addressed soon.

08/22/2016

Summer is coming to an end and another academic year is beginning. This year is filled with changes including: full implementation of LionPATH, the transition to Canvas, and our crazy new schedule (What do you mean my class starts at 1:25?). It will be a challenge, but with some patience and persistence, we will make it through. All the best this year and please do not hesitate to contact your adviser if you have any questions or need any help.

Make sure you get enough sleep to consolidate those memories and do well on finals!

How long-term memory is formed is not well understood, and remains a central question of inquiry in neuroscience. Now researchers at the University of California, Riverside report they may have an answer to this question.

Welcome back from break. We hope you are rested and ready for the last half of the semester. Keep in mind that registration begins soon for the fall semester.
