Drop in to visit with BSE faculty and their research teams in a casual, small-group, come-and-go setting.  Here, you can learn more about all the current work going on within BSE – instruction, graduate education, undergraduate research, extension, research and more – and how BSE is building a better future.  Before joining, we hope you’ll watch the videos (Bioprocessing and Biotechnology Videos/Watershed Science and Engineering Videos)  prepared by our faculty and teams.  They provide some great background, and we think you’ll enjoy them!
