"Evolution for Science Teachers"
offered winter term;
Gidwitz winners announced
Bizarre caterpillars, like the one in the photo above, are just a small sample of the interests of Paul Gross, Associate Professor in the Natural Science Department, College of Arts and Sciences. Paul's research into the ecological relationships of insects and plants takes him, and sometimes his students, deep into Illinois prairies unknown to most Chicagoans as well as to exotic tropical sites. He enthusiastically shares his discoveries and his “close-up” nature photographs with students and colleagues. His classroom activities are just as interesting.
At the moment, Paul is most enthusiastic about the Microevolution course for high school teachers that he will be co-teaching this winter. Paul Gross and Harry Ross, chair of Secondary Education in the National College of education, have developed a series of graduate biology courses uniquely geared to the needs of high school science teachers. Their winter term offering, Evolution for Science Teachers I: Microevolution, addresses a topic that is centrally important to science teachers and also presents distinct challenges in the classroom.

Providing services within the community has helped to define the historical mission of this College. As we have traditionally provided access to those populations who are often underserved, we have simultaneously strengthened the urban communities from which many of these students come. Just as we provide the foundation for those who desire to contribute to the community through teaching and business development, we also train those who want to pursue a path toward or further develop their expertise in service related professions such as Human Services, Psychology and Health Studies. Preparing our students to enter and/or advance in these professions ensures a direct renewal of leadership in the community.
