Concluding Remarks Staff organization and quality – Best it has been in my 25 years in the department Student talent – Best undergraduates are exceptional – need to engage them in on-campus research early – BISI program has increased overall applicant quality and encouraged students with interdisciplinary interests Research – We are an integrative biology department – Upcoming retirements will provide opportunities to increase connectivity – Department financial situation will allow growth – Federal funding climate remains uncertain. Diversification may be the best strategy – both for individual PI’s and for department
