The MCB department hosted Meet MCB again this year! Meet MCB is a one-day outreach event sponsored and hosted by us, the MCB department. 

We enjoyed hosting over 130 High School students on campus again this year for Meet MCB 2019! High School students heard from MCB alumni, talked to current UA MCB students, heard from advisors and toured MCB science labs. We are grateful we have the opportunity to host this event each year where we can share our passion for science with High School students!
