Mendel Biology Society

The Mendel Biology Society is a student-run club.  Although sponsored by the Biology Department, the club is open to students from any academic program within Saint Peter's College who are interested in topics relating to biology.  The Mendel club strives to hold regular meetings, organizes social and educational activities, schedules special events, and helps support the Distinguished Lecture Series
(organized by Dr. Sciorra: LSciorra@spc.edu).

Every spring, the Biology Department and the Mendel Society organize the Mendel Biology Lecture. The Mendel Lecture is the longest running annual lecture series in the history of Saint Peter's College. The event is usually scheduled for April.

In April 2006, Dr. Greg H. Olsen of GHO Ventures in Princeton, New Jersey gave a multimedia presentation entitled "My Voyage to the International Space Station" for the 55th Mendel Lecture.
