Prior to the seminar, this year’s Francis W. Antonawich Memorial Award for Environmental Stewardship will be presented to biology major Christopher Lo Re ’20.
“Events like these are important in order to maintain SJC’s warm and vibrant academic community during this time of social distancing,” Dr. Rountos said. “This event is a welcomed respite for many of us and serves as an opportunity for the Department of Biology to recognize our 2020 recipient of the Francis W. Antonawich Memorial Award for Environmental Stewardship.”
