Going on a college visit normally consists of a college tour and if you are lucky a meal at the dinning hall. Our visit to ISU had a lot more to offer with our special visit to the biotechnology lab. Students who attended, were able to go into a college genetics lab and practice some of the techniques needed in a university science class.
And while most college tours provide lunch, students were treated to exceptional treatment at the special guest only dinning area. Eating their fill of food and ice cream. If you are interested in ISU or even just getting a taste of a college science lab, keep your eye out fore the next trip out to ISU. |
