A National Science Foundation grant meant to increase the opportunities for minority students in STEM was cut in May for Ithaca College students. Part of the lost funds were set aside to help biology majors present at the 2025 International Worm Meeting over the summer. With financial support from the campus community, students in the Department of Biology were still able to present their award-winning research on an international stage. 

Ithaca College junior Matthew Weil and senior Ted Mburu were awarded the Best Undergraduate Research Award at the American Physical Society March Meeting.
