Advanced to the Curriculum Committee
The following have been received in the College Senate Office and forwarded to the College Senate Curriculum Committee for spring 2023 review:

New Courses:
BIO 375 Global Change Ecology. Prerequisite BIO 211 or BIO 213. Introduction to the concepts and applications of global change ecology, including species invasion, habitat fragmentation and climate change. Ecological and sustainable applications in academic, government and private settings toward evaluating and addressing the impacts of global change. Offered occasionally, beginning spring 2024.

BIO 675 Origin of Species. Charles Darwin’s seminal book, “Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection,” changed the world in 1859. ‘Origin of Species’ revolutionized science, particularly biology, and what would later be ecology and evolution, as well as politics, sociology and religion. With time, however, Darwin’s Victorian prose became outdated, with anachronistic references, yet much of the science remains surprisingly relevant. The class will read, present, and discuss an annotated ‘Origin of Species’ to both deconstruct Darwin’s original masterpiece and achieve a better understanding of its underpinnings and relevance in modern science. Offered occasionally, beginning spring 2024.
