Final Editor's Note:

Thanks again to all of the alumni who submitted updates and photos to The Niche ! We also give many thanks to Dr. Larry Wiseman, Professor Emeritus and editor of the original Niche for forwarding several sources for the feature article.

The Biology Department web site will soon be changing to a new web design (per the reWeb program), so the next issue of The Niche may be in a different format. We're working to maintain all of the relevant links -- let us know if you find misdirected or broken links, especially when reading archive issues.

We love hearing from you! Please contact us with news about yourself and fellow alumni, faculty, staff and current students using our alumni update form . You can also contact us by e-mail: .
