undergraduate and gradu
ate programs, O’Leary
said.
The biochemistry
program has over 60
undergraduate students,
O’Leary said. Those
students will receive better
educations with the Beadle
Center’s modem facilities.
Another important
mission is the Beadle
Center’s outreach program.
O’Leary said. H
A number of educa
I tonal programs which will
serve people around the
state are in the works, he
said. A few of those
programs will include:
_ seminars where hig
school science teachers
are brought up-to-date in
*
%
the center’s areas of study.
— High school teachers
' * * V/ t
participating in hands on
research with the center’s
scientists.
— Production of
science programs that will
be broadcast statewide via
satellite.
Don Weeks, director of
the center for biotechnol
ogy, said the additional
programs were vital to the
Beadle Center’s mission.
“The graduate and
undergraduate programs,
as well as the outreach
programs, let people know
about the economic and
social impact the bio
sciences will have on our
lives," Weeks said.
As the impact of bio
sciences research in
creases, the Beadle Cente
will keep in step, O’Leary
said.
“We intend to continue
to develop strong and
r innovative programs in
these areas, and to con
tinue to serve the students
of UNL, the state of Ne
braska and the nation,” he
said.
